Ex-President Grant has improved
very rapidly since the Grant, Ward
& Co’s, ditliculty lias blown over,
and some of the New York papers
are so harsh in their comments as
to say there was never anything the
matter with him, but that he as
sumed the sick role to avoid the
legal consequences of his terrible
bank swindle. It must lie confess
ed that the whole affair has a sus
picious look. His doctors were do
ing well at last accounts.
Mr. John T. Allgood, says the
Eastman Times, was met in the
road last Wednesday, and attack
ed by as big a coon as ever walk
ed a log. The angry looking old
quadruped at once squared himself
and showed flglvt. John being one
of tlioso never-backing sort, laid
aside all manner of weapons and
gave his fellow-feeler a coon’s
showing, and in all coon history
we do not read of just such a coon
fight as then and there took place.
John’s coon fighting skill was brill
iantly displayed, and we feel a pe
culiar pleasure in recording life
great vltory. The life was slapped
out of the ring-tailed roarer by the
open hand of the indignant boy.
There are various ways of effect
ing objects, especially that of mar-
t riage, but the following from the
Cuthbert Appeal is a new way of
courting: “When our merchant,
Mr. Brown, was fixing up a ship
ment of eggs some - time since, on
one of the eggs to be shipped, our
friend Jim Cox wrote the follow
ing: ‘The young lady into whose
hands this may chance to fall will
please address me at Ward, Ga.’—
Two weeks latter Jim received a
letter from Nellie Cox, Brooklyn,
N. Y., stating that she had got the
egg on which lie wrote. Jim and
Nellie are now corresponding.”—
Should marriage result from this
freak, it will go far towards estab

Sink slowly ’noutli the solemn sea,
A spirit now suggests tin thought,
The stars will rise again for me.
In summer lands the fairest rose

The llereest storm at length subsides.
And so, throughout Ibis life of mine

That only Is my recompense.
Within thine eyes I see the slurs
That sank beneath the solemn sea,

Though feebly strung is now my luirp

Scrofula for BO \>urN.
I have had a most distressing ease
of inherited scrofula for the past
thirty years, which has been under
treatment of many of our best
known physicians without any visi
hie effect, but was relieved by the
use of Swift’s Specific. I am sure
if any one will give this medicine a
patient, faithful trial it will give
them the same relief, for my case
was regarded almost hopeless by
many. Of course, it would not take
the same time or quantity for a
younger person or the disease in
earlier stages. Even if it did not
positively cure (which is almost
impossible in cases of inherited
affliction), it will give you renewed
strength, fiesh, vitality, even al
though reduced to a “confirmed in
valid” as was my condition.
For children who are weak, sub
ject to colds, especially those inclin
ed to catarrh, or for any skin corrup
tion, I consider it infallible. As a
general household remedy, it is un
equalled. I wish it was in my pow
er to do justice to this wonderful
medicine. It has done so much for
me, I feel I can never repay my
debt of gratitude.

Senator Colquitt is charged with
recommending a Radical applicant
for appointment to office. We felt
proud of his action in tho Speer
confirmation matter, and endorsed
him with all our might; hut when
lie goes into the Radical recom
mendation business, he stultifies
himself and disgusts ins friends.—
Such “ endorsements says plainer
than words, that lie believes that
the offices would he better and more
-honestly administered by Rad
ical officeholders than by Demo
crats, an assertion which we have
fought the profttigacy, dishonesty
aiml tyranny of that party too vig
orously and too long ever to ad
mit.. We cannot understand such
Democracy, and cannot follow such
leaders who betray their party and
deny its principles as both our
senators have done. We have sym
pathized with Virginia, but we can
sympathize with her no more; but
we hang our head in shame when
we contemplate the betrayal of the
great Democratic party by leaders
whom it lias delighted to honor.—
Tho Democrats must retire such
traitors to its principles from its
leadership, or lose its purity, its
prestige and its power.
The following telegram, dated
the 2i)d inst., has been sent from
Norfolk, Va. It is ominous: Tho
English man-of-war Garnet and the
Russian corvette Strelok are still in
port. Captain Hand, of tho former,
is not comifiimioativo, but admits
that he is keeping an eye oil the
Russian. The Russian commander
.says lie has information that two
English orulssrs are coming up
from the iSouth. If war is declared
they may intercept him. The two
captains are evidently watching
each other’s movements. The crews
are not allowed to come ashore,
and each vessel Is kept in a condi
tion to move at a moment’s notice.
Captain ftarydloff, of the Strelok,
was in command of tho Russian
torpedo boat which caused the de

Wrecked llfllrhilx.
St. Louts, April 27.—A special
train bearing a number of Penn*
sylvania, and Missouri Pacific rail
road officials left here this evening,
via the Iron Mountain road on a
tour of inspection of the Texas and
Pacific railway. When eight miles
below Jefferson barracks, about 20
miles below this city, the train col
lided with an up-bound accommo
dation train, from Montasand
Springs, and quite a serious wreck
was the result.
Phillip Tuilond, an engineer in
the operating department of the
Pensylvania road, and Louis Christ,
fireman bn the special train, are re
ported killed, and several others of
the party are said to be more or
less wounded, but none seriously.
Both trains were running fast.
The crash was terrific. Both en
gines were completely wrecked,
but neither train was much injur
ed. The engineers reversed, but
there was no time to save them
selves, and they and the firemen
went into the wreck. Stevenson,
the engineer of the special receiv
ed a contusion of the spine, and
is injured internally. His fire
man Louis Christ, had both his
legs torn oft* and chest crushed,
and was killed. McGovern, the en
gineer of the Montesand train was
thrown into the river, but not hurt,
and his fireman only received a
slight injury. Phillip Tolland, a
nephew ot General Wistar, of the
Texas and Pacific railroad, and con
nected with the locomotive depart
ment of the Pennsylvania railroad,
was frightfully mangled, one leg
being torn off. His chest was
crushed in, killing him instantly.—
Other members of the party were
in in the rear car, and were some
what shaken up, but the most se
rious injurioes were to ex-Governor
Brown, general solicitor of the Mis
souri Pacifiic railroad, who had one
of his shoulders dislocated, and
General Wistar, who was slightly
hurt about the head.
Medical aid was summoned, and
all were brought to this city. En
gineer Stevenson was taken to the
hospital, and Governor Brown and
General Wistar are at the Southern
hotel. The body of Tolland was
placed in charge of the undertaker,
and that of Christ, the fireman, was
left at Chiron licit.

and, after consulting with the dis
trict attorney, they set to work at.
once to capture the parties. A war
rant of arrest was forthwith issued
for Jolin’B. Fondren and a capias
for William W. Fondren under the
indictment. Baird then wrote Fon
dren a letter enclosing a ten dollar
bill, upon which lie placed a private
mark, for .$ll)0 of greenbacks, and',
signed the name of “II. B. Allen,”
and had the postmark of Loesvillo,
Fla., stamped upon the envelope.—
Baird, in company with Deputy
Marshal John J. Hinds, left Hunts
ville and reached Langston after
dark. Tho letter was delivered to
the postmaster with instructions to
put it into Fondren’s mail. The
next day Baird went around tho
village of Langston as a cigar
drummer, all the time keeping in
sight of the post office until ho saw
Fondren get Ills mail. Then with
tho marshal and a guide they pro
ceeded to scale the mountain side
until they reached the Fondren
residence, which they found to ho a
double log cabin with hall, between
which had been inclosed with
hoards. Tho guide rushed to tho
window and the marshal and Baird
to the door. John B. Fondren
jumped through the window, and
was caught by tho guide, while
William Fondren rushed to the
door in the arms of the marshal.—
Baird secured the mail and found
tho letter he had written, with the
.$10 included, and other letters with
various sums, one from Canada in
closing $5. There were oyer 1,500
other letters found in tho room,
which had all contained various
sums and it is estimated that the par
ties have realized several thousand
dollar* outuf their swindle. As soon
as the excitement of the arrest was
over, William Fondren said to
Baird: “Who aro you, anyhow?”
Baird replied: “Mynumois Allen,
from Florida.” Fondren replied:
“Come for your goods, did you?—
Well, pard.l guess you’ve caught me
ami I’ll have to own up.” The
prisoners wore then handcuffed
and taken to Langston, where they
greatly improved. As a tonic and

Denver, Col., April 27.—The res
cuing party which left Leadville
yesterday morning for tho scene of
the terrible calamity of tho Homes-
take mine, reached their destina
tion at 8 o’clock. Several excava
tions were made before tho cabins
could be located. The first one
found contained provisions, etc.,
but no bodies were,found. A bunk
house was next reached, where
eleven bodies were found. One
body stood erect, with his head
thrown forward as if listening, the
whole position indicating appre
hension, Near by lay a companion
in a bunk, with his face downward
and his arms crossed under his
head. Several logs lay on his
body. Three bodies were found in
an upper bunk clasped in each
other’s arms, and so strongly wero
they interlocked as to require the
efforts of six men to separate them.
One man was found beside his bunk
in attitude of prayer.
In another part of tho cabin were
found two bodies crushed between
fallen timbers, and other bodies
were found lying about tho cabin as
if thrown from tho bunks. Owing
to the fact that all of their faces
wero covered with half an Inch of
whlto mould, tho feature could not
ho recognized. No doubt death
was caused by suffocation in nearly
ovory case. A clock and watch
were found which had stopped pre
cisely at 3:30.
From letters and pajwrs found, it
is believed that the slide occurred
between the 20th and 55th of Feb
ruary. The report that some of tho
men had been seen a fortnight j
ago proves unfounded. Tho bodies
were brought to Lotqlvllle.
A (urn In if Racket In the Treasury.
Washington, April 24. — The
warning notes of a great upheaval
in the treasury department are
heard. Ever since Secretary Man
ning’s return from New York, it
has been noticed that the driving
out and reorganizing processes
have seemed to be more imminent.
The word has been passed that the
Republican chiefs—the head men
and holders of soft places—are to
go. Indeed, the thing lias oozed
out and is public property, Secre
tary Manning discovered that par
ty sentiment at home did not ap
prove the extreme deliberation
with which the Democratic govern
ment is being manned by Demo
crats. ITo found the people grow
ing impatient over the delay in the
harvest which they had so hordly
won, and felt themselves legally
entitled to enjoy.
A prominent congressman said
to-day: “I agree with Senator In
galls in his scorn for all this elegant
humbug. The party that wins at
tho polls should equip the govern
ment. That is what the country
expects; that is what tho people
elected them for. Let us he Judged
on our merits. If we say the De
mocracy cannot furnish executive
men, managers of bureaus, and all
that, we must admit Incompetency.
Away .with such nonsense. We
have carried tho country fairly and
squarely. Let us put our own men
men in tho government as best we
can. If we fall, well and good, but
let us at least show confidence in
ourselves; not dodge tho issue by
holding tho shadow and giving
away tho substance.”
And this is what Secretary Man
ning seems preparing to do. It is
in tho very air.
Ex-Governor Porter, of Tennes
see, is on tho same track. Ho en
tertains just the sentiments above
mentioned, lie is throwing in his
sickle among tho crowds everyday
lie believes that the Democrats
should represent tho government
abroad as well as at home, and lie
has the courage to express his con
victions. Thu people will hour from

The announcement of a trial of
skill of lance and sabre between
Captain E. N. Jennings, formerly
of her Britanic majesty’s service,
and Duncan C. Ross, tho well
known athlete, attracted a large
crowd to Central Park yesterday.—
The arrangement was that both
were to lie mounted, Jennings to
use the lance, and Ross to swing
the sabre. Twenty-one points con
stituted the match, and the .winner
of the first 11 was to be declared
the successful competitor. At a
little before 4 o’clock both men ap
peared, clad in the regulation ar
mor. This consists of a steel cuirass
buckled on both sides, and protect
ing the back and breast down to
the top of the hips. A neck plate
of cast steel fits closely around the
neck, coming down under tho cui
rass and so protecting the upper
part of tho chest. Over the liead is
fitted the regulation sword mask,
made of strong iron wire, and pad
ded inside With a two-inch thick
ness of hair and chamois skin. This
mask covers the whole of the head
and front part of the nock, leaving
only the nape exposed.
Captain Jennings, attired in
white duck knee-breeches and tlie
armor, first galloped in the opening
and took up his station a point des
ignated by a small American fiag
attached to a stick stuck in the
ground. He carried a bamboo pole
nine feet in length, which was top
ped by a dull spear head. A small
buy, proud of his position as lance-
holder, kept two similar weapons
’in reserve in case of accident.—
All three fiags were adorned with
a diminutive flag. Duncan C. Ross
was not many Seconds behind Jen
nings, carrying a regulation caval
ry sabre, the point “upset” and
beaten together making a thick
ness of over a quarter of an inch.—
A sabre is technically divided into
three equal uortions—the feeble or
point, the centre, and tho forte or
strong, lying next to the handle.
The forte mid centre were blunt
ed, while the feeble was left suffi
ciently sharp to cut the lance pole.
Jennings rode a bay horse, while
Ross bestrode a gray. The animals
were evidently well trained, and
there is no doubt there would have
been a very interesting contest if a
most unfortunate accident had not
occurred. J. W. Faser was select
ed as referee, and Major W. II.
Cross, of the Second Life Guards,
and Major W. C. Dorrance, of the
Ninety-third Highlanders, were
judges. The words: “Ready,” “For
ward,” “Attack,” were the signal
for the fray. The horses leaped for
ward, and tho Riders approached
each other. Jennings, with life
lance, struck Ross as he was swing
ing his horse around, and the first
point was awarded to him. The
second and third points were won
by Ross, and tiie fourth and fifth
by Jennings.
Ross did not win the sixth, and
there was no decision made. Jen-
ningHstruck Ross full on the helmet
as the latter dashed past, but Ross
turned suddenly and slashed at
Jennings with life sabre. Jennings’
helmet was knocked from his head
and he narrowly escaped a fall
from his saddle. Then there was a
shout, and at the end of 40 yards
blood could be seen running down
Jennings’ neck. He dismounted,
however, without assistance, and
when lie hurried towards the dress
ing room, the crowd broke through
the ropes, and surrounded him so
that it was with difficulty that he
reached the inner rooms. Then he
almost fainted. A physician was
hastily summoned, and after an
examination, stated that Jennings’
skull had been fractured. The
wound was over the right ear, near
ly four inches in length, and pre
sented a very ugly appearance. A
carriage was obtained, and Captain
Jennings was driven to life room at
111 Dupont street, where everything
was done to alleviate his suffer
ings.
Dr. Rosenstirn attended tho
wounded man about 5 o’clock, and
an hour later Ross and a friend ap
peared to make inquiries. Dr.
Rosenstirn said there was no doubt
the skull was fractured, while the
gash required 11 stitches to close it.
He milled that while the wound
was not necessarily fatal, should
erysipelas set in nothing could save
the captain’s life. Jennings was
appearantly sensible, but tho band
ages did not permit him to speak,
although ho waved his hand to
Boss when that athlete entered the
room.
Later in tho evening Ross was
asked by a Chronicle reporter*!! ho
4£>uld explain how the unfortunate
circumstance occurred, and lie
said:
“After the captain made his last
point on me, lie bent Ids head for
ward and then under the edge of
tho mask came in contact with tho
upper edge of Ids cuirass. Tho re
sult was the mask was tilted off. I
was in the act of delivering ‘cut
two at cavalry’ at tho instant. Tho
sword was in the air, when I saw
the mask fall. Of course, I did all I
could to ease the force of the cut,
hut it was bound to reach home,
and had I not stayed the sabre,
there is nothing that would lmve
prevented the captain’s liead from
rolling on the ground.”

A number ot passengers were
talking of hypnotism, metaphysics,
spiritualism and other mysterious
things, when an old gentleman
from Galena chimed in: “It beats
all the way the’isms run over the
country. I really believe the peo
ple actually hanker to he humbug
ged by sutldn’ or other. I never
hear o’none o’ those new fangled
notions but I think of the great
time we had years ago finding lead
deposits out at Galena. In them
early days everybody believed in
the divinin’ rod, and chaps used to
go about the country with birch or
hazel sticks in their hand takin’ in
the people’s money for pretendin’
to find water or mineral. Rut the
funniest piece o’ humbugging ever
I saw was in the lead business. A
young man came to Galena ’bout
the time the lead excitement broke
out and claimed to h,e so badly
afflicted with lead colic that wnen-
ever he walked on the ground over
a lead deposit he’d get sick. Well,
sir, you never saw so much running
after an invalid in your life. That
young man had tho colic all over
that part of the country—at $20 a
colic. He’d just double up a little,
make a sad face, rub life vest, groan
once or twice pocket his $20 and
pass on to the next victim. Hun
dreds of people went to diggin’ in
the spots where he had tho colic,
but before they could get down as
far as they should go the young
man had lit out. One or two ac
tually struck lead, but that wasn’t
surprisin’, considering tho amount
of colic lie laid.”

A ltoy Acquitted.

Randolph Trailer, the boy accused
of the murder of Alex. Stephens,
was tried this week ;ur’ acquitted.
Judge Twiggs, who defended him,
has added new laurels to his already
great achievements. As is well
known, his fame is not confined to
Georgia, and wherever known he
is honored and esteemed for his fine
legal ability, his adamantine firm
ness, his scholarly attainments and
his gentleness of heart. Young
Trader was poor and well nigh
friendless,which touched the Judge’s
heart and enlisted his sympathy,
and he determined to do all in his
power to save him, with no promise
nor hope of fee or reward. His
appeal to tho jury was touching
and grand, and it reached the
hearts of all who heard it. The
jury were only out a few moments
when they returned with a verdict
of acquittal, and Trader walked out
a free man; and, wo hope, with a
firm resolution to guard well his
actions in future, and so conduct
himself as to command the love
and esteem of all honest men. \Ve
also hopo he will ever remember
and reverence the mail who so
nobly defended and stood between
linn ami the gallows.

Now Is the lime when the distressing effects
of MALARIAL POISONING show them
selves so conspicuously. To those who live
In a malarious climate, or who have been ex
posed to the pernicious effects of this mhts-
matie isiison, 110 dlserlptlon of symptoms Is
necessary. The poison once getting into (be
blood, is very difficult to eradicate, and will
exhibit its debilitating influence long after
the active stages of Its operation have been
subdued. Like any other poison it requires
an ANTIDOTE to neutralize it. It is now
fourteen years since the SOUTHERN MA
LARIAL ANTIDOTE was presented to the
public and its extraordinary success in neu
tralizing the poison of Malaria and invigo
rating tbe constitution when debilitated lias
far surpassed our most sanguine expecta
tions.

Dn. E. Harry:
This Is to certify that my little son had
chills and fever ever since he wus six months
old. Last February, I gave him one bottle
of your Southern Malarial Antidote, wliluli
completely cured him, and helms had no re
turn of the malady, and is now hearty and
strong. 11. F. Maddox.
