‘Jhe Annual Dinner of the New York Cham
ber of Commerce.
New Yoke, November 15.—The annual din
pet of the Chamber of Commerce,of he state of
New York, was held tonight in the large ban
queting hall at Delmonico’s, which was hand
somely festooned with smilax, evergreens and
flags of all nations. Covers were laid for 212.
Among the distinguished guests present were
(Secretaries Lamar and Fairchild, Eight Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, Sir George Campbell,
Major-General Schofield, Mayor Hewitt, Hal
ley Stewart, M. I*., and many other gentle
men prominent in social or political life.
After three hours’ attention had been given
to the menu, President Smith arose and briefly
outlined the objects of the chamber of com
merce, declaring that they included the estab
lishment of a navy, and the preservation of
the harbor of New York. He then read let
teis of regret from President Cleveland, Sen
ator Sherman, Governor Hill, and others,
president Cleveland says in his letter:
It would certainly give me great pleasure to be
present on that occasion to meet those who, to a
■great extent, have in charge the important business
interests represented in your association. lam sure
too. that I should derive profit as well as pleasure
-tfl-i m such a meeting. These charged by the people
witu the management of their government, cannot
fail to enhance their usefulness by familiarity with
the business, conditions, and intimacy with the
business men of today, since good government has
no more important mission than the stimulation and
protection of the activities of tire country.
"Tuis relation between the government and busi
ness suggests the thought that membeis of such as
sociations as yours owe to themselves and to all the
.people of the laud a thoughtful discharge of their
political obligation, guided by their practical
kn iwledge of affairs, to th'' end that there may be
impresed upon the administration of tire govern
-Bne.it a business character and tendency free from
the diversion of passion, and unmoved by sudden
gusts of excitement. But the most wholesome pur
pose of their political action will not be accomplished
t>y an insistence uio.i their exclusive claims and
selfish benefits, regardless of the welfare of the peo
tole at large. Independence is so fully an element
sn our national existence that a patriotic and gen
erous heed to the general good seems to best sub
(Serve every particular interest.”
After reading the letter, the chairman pro
posed the health of the President of the
United States. The toast was drank standing,
tnd in response to Mr. Smith’s call Secretary
.arnar responded.
The toast“ The Queen of Great Britian” was
-drank standing. Then Chancey Depew re
eponded to the toast, “The United States,
•With a government by the people and for the
jieople. They are the friends of honest labor;
the enimies of anarchism.”
The health of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain was
proposed by the president and that gentleman
Responded. Other toasts were as follows:
‘‘The city of New York.”—Mayor Hewitt.
‘‘The English Speaking .Race.” —George
"William Curtis.”
“The Peace Delegation”—R.Creamer, M.P.
‘‘The Bench and Bar.”—James C. Carter.

men were seriously, and, it is feared some of
■hem fatally burned, by an explosion of gaso
line at No. 908 Sansom street, shortly after 6
O’clock tonight. The building is used by tho
Edison Electric Tight company as a storage
house for tools, gasoline lamps used

trenches, while working at night, and
Other utensils. One of the workmen, named

Mrs. Tilton Buys a Souvenir of Beecher.
New York, November 18.—There was a bit
of sentiment in an auction sale this week.
Although it was a disposal of the effects of
Henry Ward Beecher, little interest was ex
cited outside of his personal friends, who at
tended for the purpose of buying souvenirs of
their beloved pastor. Books and bric-a-brac
went, one after another, at about their original
cost, until a tiny, paper-bound copy of Mrs.
Browning’s poems was offered. The auction
eer regarded it carelessly, but one person pres
ent had discovered written on a fly leaf.
“Theodore Tilton to Henry Ward Beecher,”
and he bid it up slowly to sl, $2, $3, finally
losing it to somebody who gave $5.
. “Glad I didn’t get it,” he remarked; “it
isn’t worth any such ridiculous price.”
Who had paid $5 for a thing intrinsically
worth no more than five cents? Elizabeth
Tilton. The ostensible purchaser was an inti
mate friend. Presumably Mrs. Tilton desired
it as a joint memento of the two remarkable
inen who once made such an awful commotion
over her. What particular memory was to
her associated with this gift of her husband to
her pastor I do not know, but I do know that
the little volumne is now at the bindery being
covered handsomely in morocco.
Clashing Liquor Laws in Maine.
Augusta, Me., November 14—There is
much interest still manifested in the imported
liquor question in this section, Burns is selling his
imported goods openly at the north end of Water
street, disposing of a 1 irge quantity, and the prohi
bitory law is nullified practically." It will perhaps
be years before a decision is obtained from the
courts, and a most determined effe.it is to be made
at the coming session of congress to obtain the en
actment of a section which si a’.l prevent clashing
between the United States customs regulations and
the state prohibitory law. Congressman Bingley
will work willingly to secure such an enactment,
Congressman Boutellie. of Bangor, when in the city
recently, said he should do all in his power lu se
cure protection through congress against imported
liquor retailers.
Bombs Found in St. Joseph.
St. Joseph, Mo., November 17.—At five
o’clock this morning, a large bomb was found on
the steps of the city hall leading to the police sta
tion An hour later another was found back of a
wholesale grocery house. Both were taken to a
point above the city on the river bank and exploded
by the chief of police. The bombs were of dyna
mite and evidently constructed by an cxpcit bomb
maker. The anarchists here number over a hun
dred and fifty and are of the fiercest character. The
feeling against them ton g it is intense.

Hill today appointed Mrs. Charlotte S.
Williams, of Buffalo, and Mrs. Caroline B.
Stoddard, of Rochester, as two of the man
agers of the state insane asylum at Buffalo, to
fill vacancies. There are a large number of
female inmates in the institution, and this fact
induced the governor to appoint a majority of
women managers. The appointments were
urged by numerous organizations of ladies.

New Orleans, La., November 18.—A spe
cial from Shriever, La., to the Picayune says: “The
strike in this parish was declared off by lhe execu

A MYSTERY OF THE CONGO.
What Became of the Captain?—Amid the
Lurking Crocodiles.
From Blackwood’s Magazine.
Having landed tho wood-cutters and made
everything right, we then—the captain, Lieutenant
Dhanls and myself -sat down to dinner, and soon
after It was over I turned in, being very tired. I
should explain that th re arc no cabins. Our sleep
ing places were at the stern of the boat, the captain's
being farthest aft; our mosquito curtains were fas
tened to her sides, and our camp mattresses reached
right across her, as she is only about six feet in the
beam. Cqt,i:iD was in high spirits, and kept
playing tunes on a melodeon we had with us; talk
ing in tho intervals of his home at Brussels and his
delight at s ion seeing It again. Presently he poured
out three glasses of Portuguese wine, and landed
one to Lieutenant. Dhanis, and the other (under the
mosquito cm tain) to me -
I tusted it, and passed it out again with the re
mark: “It's too strong: put some Congo in It” lie
added a little water, and said: “Hang it, man, its
pure water!” and I never heard him speak again;
for, soon alter, I turned over and went to s e p,
with tho strains of "Myosolis”—which I had asked
him to play—ringing in my <a-s. Next morning,
instead of being called by him. as usual, I slept on
until roused by Lieutenant Dhanis, who came to
me with a white, scared face, asking: ‘‘Where Is
the captain?" "1 don’t know,” I replied. “I be
lieve he's in the Congo," said Dhanis. Os course I
was up like a sh >t. Sure enough, there was the
captain's bed—his clothes, boot.', bat, ■ 11 lying be
side It; his mospilo curtain untorn shove l ti nt
nothing unu uul had taken pls-e, nnd I. could not

SCALES OF GOLD
Clinging to tho Rocks of Ari
zona.
MARVELOUS WEALTH DISCOVERED
Prescott, Ari., November 15.—Private ad
vices show that the recently discovered gold
mine, ten miles from here, on tho Lassayampa
river, is richer by far than anything ever dis
covered in the world. The ore averages SI,OOO
per ton and thousands of tons are In sight.
Two men yesterday, with a common mortar,
pounded out SBOO in less than an hour. The
gold clings to tho rock in tho purest, scales. A.
man with a knife can scale off a handful in a
few minutes. There is every indication that
tho ledgo contains fabulous wealth. This
river has produced millions in years past in
placer mining, and on one occasion a pocket
was found which yielded SIOO,OOO in a few
weeks. People aro flocking there in great
numbers.
SPORT IN DOUGHERTY.
The Hunters Bring in Cheering Reports
From tho Woods.
Albany, Ga., November 17.—[Special.]—
This place is becoming a paradise for sports
men. Game appears to be unusually plentiful
this season. Duck are seen flying over tho
city end tho ponds west of us aro well covered
with them. Hunting parties are going out
every day. The supply of quail is as usual,
plentiful, though the tall weeds and sedge
grass through which the dogs have to make
their way soon tiro them out, and conse
quently tho quail shooting will be
better later in tho season. Three fine deer
have been brought into town this week, killed
within a few miles of Albany - . C. E. Farring
tmi and Tom Reynolds brought down two
wflhin six miles of town, while yesterday,
Messrs Bon and Bartow Jones brought in the
third. Rev. Bascom Anthony, pastor of the
Methodist church here, is passionately fond of
field sports and a good specimen of muscular
Christianity. Tho boys aro always delighted
when tho parson, as they affectionately call
him, goes with them on their hunts. I
rather suspect that ho has not got over
his “deer ague,” yet nor can subdue fully tha
nervous thrill which tingles through the frame
as after a period of excited waiting, tho deer
comes bounding past the stand. “1 have :h it
twenty-five times at deer,” I heard him say
yesterday, and have only brought down one.
Charlie Farrington is one of the crack shots
here. “I have only been out hunting three
times in seven years,” he told me yesterday - ,but
Tom Nelson and I have agreed to spend
Thanksgiving day hunting quail, and
wo expect to bring in a bag that
will set a task tho city sportsment
for some time to come.” Lovers of field sports
find a great variety of game around us to
tempt them out with dog and gun. Wild turj
key, squirrel and bears frequent the great for
ests and swamps in tho oak and hickory re
gion west of us. Even tho wily 'possum and
elusive coon give pleasure to those who enjoy
a night tramp with darkey, torches, axes and
dogs. A ’possum supper, served up with its
trimmings of savory - pstatoos and many other
extras, including tho liquid refreshment to
wash it down, is generally tho
next evening’s wind up to a
night in tho woods. Our restaurants
from frequent practice have reached perfec
tion in cooking this savory game.
“I was outlast night with a party of fox
hunters,” said Mr. J. 8. Pancloth, of this
county. “Wo had started but, a short time
when we camo upon the trail of a fox. After
a run of about two hours and a half the fox
completely fagged out, sought shelter up a pine
sapling, and we shook him down to the dogs.
A writer in T’hb Constitution,’ some time
since, affirmed that foxes would never climb a
tree. If he would come down and join us in
our hunts, he would find out his mistake.”
“Did you ever see a fox climb
a sapling?" Your reporter next inquired of
Mr. J. J. Hall, a prominent farmer of Dough
erty county. “Yes,” ho replied, “it is a very
common occurrence; they will seek safety by
climbing up a sapling whenever they are hard
pressed and exhausted.”
Later in the season, in early spring, the
sport will commence upon the streams around
us, which are plentifully stocked with immense
trout or black bass. Editor Mclntosh is among
those fond of seeking the quiet waters o£ the
Kinchefoonoe and Muckalee creeks,
and after a few hours strolling
returning home with a long string of
fish. Captain William Parker, of Macon, is
excessively fond of such sport. He has made
some real estate investments here, and spends
most of his time hunting and fishing in
season. Early in the season ho puts in an ap
pearance here with dog, gun and rod, and
the pleasures of tho fields and streams gener
ally tempt him to remain the greater portion
of tha year.
DRYING UP.
Bad State of Affairs in the Mississippi Val
ley.
Memphis, November 19.—For the past ten
days forest fires have been raging all around
this section of the country ami a dense smoko
has overhung the city. Reports this afternoon
are of a serious nature. Travel over the Kan
sas City road has been temporarily suspended by
the forest fires. Great damage is also reported
to fences and farm houses along tho lines of
the Louisville and Nashville, Chesapeake and
Ohio and Southwetteni, Mississippi and Ten
nesee and Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
railroads from these fires. A train on tho
Chesapeake and Ohio, which left hero last
evening, was delayed several hours north
of this city owing to tho flames
which swept across the track at
various points. The greatest danger
is to be feared from burned trestles and bridges,
and none of the trains on the roads mentioned
are running on schedule time. The long
continued drouth, which has prevailed since
July, has literally dried up the country, and
navigation is in a bad condition. Steamboats
cannot find sufficient water even in the Mis
sissippi river to carry full cargoes, and many
of its tributaries, too, aro lower than ever
known before. A steamboat man reports that
the sunken lands near New Madrid, Mo.,
where extensive depressions were made in the
country by the earthquake of 1814, and which
have since been converted into swamps and
lakes, aro now nearly dry from tho drouth and
tho low water in the river, and vegetable
matter and lodges, which have long been
buried there, have taken lire and been burning
for days. As a consequence many square miles
of that country are on fire, which is bumingout
acccmninulated peat and vegetable mold,
where it is dry enough. Nothing of the kind
has been experienced for a great number of
years, according to the oldest inhabitants. The
bottom lands of tho Alississippi valley arc also
on fire,and considerable damapo is being done to
valuable timber, and farmers in many instances
have been compelled to fight these fires to save
their ginhouses from destruction. A high wind
prevails tonight, which will no doubt cause
serious disaster.
Telegraphic communication to points in Ar
kansas is seriously interrupted, and messages
are received “subject to delay.” The extent
of these fires cannot be estimated. They cover
large portions of Tennessee, Mississippi and
Arkansas, and continue to spread.
