QUEEN CHRISTINA PROSTRATED.
??? The Cabinet Invests Her with
the Regency.
Madrid, November 26.???Kjng Alfonso died
this morning of consumption, accelerated by
dysentery. Queen Christiana is completely
prostrated by the death of her husband.
King Alfonso first showed some signs of
catarrhal fever in the spring of last year, aud
. during four weeks ho was ailing, but not a
single day was he ill. In the summer of 1881
he took tho water of Betcln in tho Bosque
province of Guipuzcra with such complete sue
cess that he passed a good winter and resumed
his accustomed life and habits, liuning,
shooting, riding, assisting at the mill
tary maneuvers and reviews, and above all be
ing unceasing in his attention to state and mil
itary affairs. This summer at one time tho
royal physicians thought of recommending his
majesty to take a second water euro at Beteln,
but in the same way that he so gallantly brav
ed the cholera in Madrid and Aranjuez, King
Alfonso declined to go to Beteln, and ho sepa
rated from tho royal family this summer, os
cholera was raging in Segovia, two leagues from
the summer quarters of royalty in Lagratiia.
When tho king returned to Madrid, on ac-
-count of tho Carolines affair, ho displayed a
coolness and determination that went a great
way to avert a serious conflict; but ho felt, it
seems, tho deeply painful 1 and cruel position in
which Germany had unknowingly placed him.
Just about tho samo timo ho caught cold

the middle of September tho king has suffered
first from a return of his old catarriinl fevor
and then from indigestion nnd diarrhea. Ho
was laid up for about tlireo weeks, and his
phyfiiciqp, Dr. Camizon, forbade him presiding
at the council of ministers for that period.
King Alfonso, howpver, with his usual te
nacity in tho discharge of his duties, retarded
his recovery, and insisted on receiving his
ministers and other distinguished persons in
^his room at tho palace. Dr. Camizon successfully
stopped his catarrhal fever, and his majesty
speedily became so jar convalescent os to pre
side over the cabinet councils. '
A week ago, to dispel all doubts as to his re
covery, the kingdrovo in a closo carringo with
Queen Christine, through tho i
of Madrid to the Atocha churcl
The king looked palo and a littlo thinner. Dr.
Camizon and the royal surgeons then said that
King Alfonso???s health inspired them with no
apprehension whatever if his majesty would
ouly consent to tako care of himself, and, for
instance, spend os he did last year, with good
results, a month at the royal hunting scat of
El Pardo, near Madrid. The king, however,
again failed to take the advice of his physicians.
TUB KING???S FATAL ILLNESS.
Throughout 3Ionday night, King A1 Const
had spasmodic fits, the result of fever and de
bility. Six doctors from Madrid and two phy
sicians of El Pardo were in Constant attendance.
.They decided on Tuesday morning that tho
king was in a dangerous condition. The fits
continued throughtout Tuesday, and tho king
died at 8:45 o???clock this morning. The
pope???s benediction arrived before he
expired. All the officers of stato ond tho cab
inet ministers, except the minister of war and
the minister of tho interior, wero present at

will ho interred in tho palace of tho J&curial.
Orders have been issued that tho troops bo

The qm-en has accepted tho resignation of
Premier Ganovas del Gastello, and has called

first person in England to receive an official
notification of King Alfonso???s death.- Besides
sending a message of condolence to Madrid,
she dispatched a special messenger to tho Span
ish embassy at London within half an hour
after tho receipt of tho news.

daughter of Alfonso, will bo queen under tho
regency of her mother, ClirUtlua. Senor Sa-

are crowded with people, eagerly discussing
the situation. The city is tranquil.
Madrid, November 27.???Too minister of

dered the provincial officials to use the utmost
tact and discretion, as long as order prevails,
to take immediate energetic action the mo*
nient the slightest indication of disorder ap\

necessary. The editors of the Journal la Dis

head line: ???Alfonso is dead. Long live re

The body of King Alfonso was received in
this city . with great pomp. The queen
nnd her daughters occupied a carriage,whlch fol
lowed immediately after the funeral car. There
???re 2,000 casriagc* in the cartege. The queen
was deeply veiled in order to conceal her
emotion. As the procession passed through
the streets the populace wept. Occasionally a
cheer was given for Queen Christina.
General Martinez Campos today convened tha
superior officers of the army near Madrid, and
declared himself ready to obey any ministry or
chief that the queen might appoint. All pres
ent swore to uphold the constitution and main
tain the succession.
.The population here is orderly. The first
reserve force, cunsisting of 100,000 men, will
probably be summoned in order to overawe the
various factions. The troops in Catalona, Cas-
tele and Biscay will be reinforced.

CONSTITUTIONALS.
General Gossip and Editorial Short Stops
Caught on the Ban.
Georgia Is destined to become the vineyard of this
country!
Several months ago Colonel Bill Harris, of Worth,
the popular secretary of the senate, stAted while in
this city that his county depended more in fUturo
on the products of its vineyards for its future suc
cess than anything else. He gave statistics to show
the advantages which it offered in that line, and
his figures attracted considerable attention through
out the country, aud caused many inquiries to bo
made concerning the question.
There 1r no doubt about it, there arc certain sec
tions of this state which offer particular advantages
for theJniccessfUl ond paying growth of the grape,
and its manufacture into domestic (wine. Tho cli
mate is especially adapted to It, the soil offers every
requirement, nnd the only thing necessary to maito
the state loosen from its fertile bosom tho untold
wealth tlmt lies in tho fruit of its vineyards is tho
realization of its people of the magnitude of tho
opportunity, or tho immigration of a class fully
acquainted with the situation and having the expe
rience necessary to take advantage of it.
Several years ago a Mr. Leavenworth, of Canada,
came south ond experimented upon tho advisa
bility of growing the grape os a business investment.
He started quietly, (and on a small scale, iu
Spalding county. He found tha$f properly manag
ed it would pay beyond his most sanguine expecta
tions. He has now a completo vineyard and Is
steadily enlarging and improving his acres by a
wise distribution of a 11 kinds of fruit trees, from
which he says ho will annually reap a most profita
ble harvest.
???But,??? said a gentleman "yesterday, in speaking
of the subject, "does not the outlook of Georgia be
coming a prohibition* state discourage those who
would otherwise moke ventures??? with vineyards????
"By no means,???on the contrary it is a positive
encouragement toward the manufacture of domes
tic wines. The local option law provides "that
nothing in this act shall be so construed as to pre
vent the manufacture, sale and use of domestic
wines and eider.???
The next local option contest will probably bo
waged in Richmond county. Petitions calling for
an election are already being circulated. Said a
well known Augustian yesterday: "If wc have tho
election???nnd it will certoinly be had???there is ono
thing certain, wc con never get up the excitement
that was raised in .Atlanta. You have the strangest
city I ever saw,' any tray; If you can't advertise
yourself one way you do it another. Why, you ab
solutely made your county election a notional af
fair, nnd the press of the country will bo talking
about it for the next six months.???
It is surprising to whnt extent the eyes of tho
country were upon Atlanta on Wednesday last. On
the night before tho election almost every promi
nent paper in the country ordered specials forecast
ing the situation ond presenting tho outlook for tho
next day. Many had editorials on tho subject and
all'prcscnted it os a most important item of nows.
On the day of the election telegrams poured in all
day asking for the result and tho newspapers or
dered words by the thousand.
Judge Loehranc stated in ono of his prohibition
speeches that lie intended to empty tho
Contents of his wino cellar, "in rich liba
tion on tho ground.??? Under this assertion ho
has decanted on (ho unheeding soil some very raro
wines. A111 ha t he has left is a fe w gallons of Irish
whisky, which ho imported in 1870, and several
bottles of which he had promised to friends somo
time ago. When these aro delivered bo says tho
remainder shall hit tho grit.

THE CULBREATH CASE.
Probability that the Trial 1ms Ended With
the Investigation,
Columbia, S. C., November 23.???[Special.]???
Pending tho proceedings of tho famous Cul*
breath case in Edgefield, tho utmost enthusiasm
was manifest among not only the pcoploof that
country hut of tho whole state. Tho wires
from tho little town were kept continually busy
by an array of special correspondents. Each
telegram waa to bo sent eight miles by carrier
to reach tho wires.
Your correspondent lias just returned,
leaving things rather quiet sinco
the bonding of tho prisoners at the
preliminary trial. From my previous dis
patches your renders probably anticipated the
outcome of tho iuvoatigation. I havo bocn
taken to task by a distinguished citizen of Edge-
field for venturing to predict that tho alleged
lynchers will never be tried. I repeat that
prognostication???never again will those thirty-
ono ???prominent and respectable citizens of
Edgefield county??? bo placed In tho prisoners???
dock. Their reputed promincnco and allegod
respectability will prevent their socond arraign
ment. They have pleadod ???not guilty,??? and
said in response to tho question how will you
be tried? ???By God aim our country.??? That
God will try them is the only assurance the
people of 8outh Carolina havo that exact
justice will l??o mceted out to them;
nut their country will not try
them. Attorney-General Miles, a most
conscientious, fearless nnd nblo prosecuting
officer, expressed his fixed purposo to forco a
trial of tho accused at tho next term of court,
nml his bravo nnd brilliant colloago, Solicitor
Bonham, joins heartily with him in this lauda
ble intention. On tho other hand that Influ
ential, ingenious and indefatigable tiumviates
of advocates for tho defense. Senator Butler,
Lieutenant Govcnior Sheppard and Major W.
T. Gary, will exhaust their professional cun
ning and legal powers to thwart tho designs of
the states attorneys. There are thirty-ouo de
fendants. Each of these under tho laws of
South Carolina, possesses the right to challenge
peremptorily twenty jurors as they aro
presented to bo sworn. Then every other
proposed juror is subjected to tho rigid voirdiro
test; nnd others may bo stood aside for cause.
Should every defendant exercise his right, tho
aggregate number of disdirded Jurors would
reach'the largo figure of 620. This, ns I before
explained, would exhaust tho jurypanol a
dozen times. It will practically ho nu impos
sibility to organize a jury. This ia ono reason
why the trial will not como off.
Another reason Is that seven-tenths of tho
voters in tho county symposhiso with tho
lynchers, and, regardless of law
or justice, would bo glad to
writo a verdict of ???not guilty.???
1 heard not a few high-standing citizens say
that ???every lyncher of Culbreath should bo
given a medal and pensioned.??? Culbreath,
according to a cloud oi credible witnesses, was
one of tho worst of men. Ho treated his wife
shamefully and was guilty of many offensive
crimes; bnt was all this, admitted as true, any
Justification for his summary taking off.
No just person can consciously answer,
???yes.??? C*111 breath maV have been lmd: his
lynchers, whoever they may he, whether of
high or low degree, nro certainly in tho cjfcs
of the world nnd in tho sight of God influitely
worse. How unfortunate, therefore, that
tho case should havo terminated in
so inglorious a way. Tbo learned,
courageous and careful Judge Hudson was ob
viously embarrassed during tho investigation
of tho cause. A United 8tatcs senator and a
lieiitcnbnt governor, public servants, had either
forgotten or ruthlessly ignored their dutlea
and obligations to tho stato by throwing tho
weight of their talents and iuflucnco on tho
sido of crimo and against their law-abiding
constituents. This was unfortunate and bad,
and bad consequences will certainly flow from
it. That neither Butler nor Sheppard ought to
have taken thia case even their friends openly
admit. There is no computing how
much injury lawlessness lias wrought in
the large and populous county
pf Edgefield. Naturally there Is no richer

New York, November 28.???[Special.]???Wall
ptrect men aro figuring up the gains of those
who were lucky or wire enough to got on tho
right sido of the boom. William H. Vander
bilt Is surely tho chief of them. By buying up
New York Central stock at tho depressed prices,
and then bringing abont an end to the railroad
war, he nearly, if not quite, regained tho mil
lions he had lost. Tasker H. Marvin, who mado
tho purchases for Vanderbilt, cleared not less
tlian half a million on his own account. It was
absolutely necessary to trust some unsuspected
man with this big job, and Taskor was chosen on
account of his having been several years out of
tho street. Winslow, Lanier ft Co., being con
nected with the secret through tho negotiation
of the West Shore purchase, got an amount
estimated at a million. Boron Woershoffer
rated heavily on hia own bent, and occum-

3Iorris waa begun, but bis arrest was the result
of an accident. Morris wss once a convict
guard, and a few days ago he went to Birming
ham and attempted to secure a situation as a
Uisrd overa number of convicts. While await-
ng the result of hia application for the
position Morris met a negro who was once a
convict under him when he was a guard at Ce-
dartown and who had finished serving his sen
tence. Being old acquaintances they talked
freely, and in one of their several conversa
tions Morris told tlie ex-convict that the rea
son why he was in Birmingham was that he
had killed Jasper Ifendcraon, In Habersham,
with a shotgun, and had to get out of the
county
The convict divulged this information to an
fficer by the name of Wrcnn, and in
day or two Morris was under arrest.
