News from the Sick Bedside of
the Crown Prince.
PAKNELL AND O’CONNOR SUPHtENAED.
ENGLAND.
London. November 21.—Mr. Parnoll, in an
interview had with him today, during the fly
ing visit made by hiip to London, said:
“Kesjiecting the general situation, I may say
that, in my judgment, a more feeble or inert
government neverheid reins in Ireland. They
are teaching Irishmen a most disastrous les
son by their bungling incapacity; a teaching
that law may he successfully defled. For the
law, ns recently constructed by the unionist
majority in the house of commons, is daily
defied, and with impunity, by thousands of
of supprassed branches of the league,
ami by every nationalist newspaper editor
in Ireland. In fact, one of the extraor
dinary results of the coercion act, and a firm
and resolute government, is that for every of
fense against the law committed before the
passage of the coercion bill, hundreds are
committed now. I leave it to you to
whether Ireland’s respect for the imperial
parliament’s possibility of her continued gov
ernment by the samo agency, or the solidity
of the unionists is likely to bo increased, or
whether this administrative incapacity does not
render much nearer the concession of sm h
reasonable |lowers of self-government as will
nuike our people law-abiding, prosperous and
happy/’
Londox, November 22.—Major Sanderson in
a speech at Nottingham today, declared Mr.
Gladstone's statement that the murder of < <»n
stiible Wheland was a put up case, was an ab
solute lie. Mr. Gladstone ho said, was at one
end of the chain and Patrick Ford at the other
cud. X letter was read from Mr.
Bright referring to hi ; proposal to send Irish
bills to a grand committee composed of Irish
members. In a letter Mr. Bright says:
“ I’he rebel party will not accept the proposal,
because they arc rebels, and with rebi 1 Irish
members in the house of commons, the plan
would not be allowed to work. Mr. G|.:d ;t<»nc
has a hobby in which the rebel leaders for the
time have agreed to join him. IL* is com
mitted t<> that hobby and cannot, condescend
to consider a plan less pretentious but more
reasonable than his. Nothing can be done
until Mr. Giadst<»ne.’s bill has been entirely
got rid of. He insists upon impossible legisla
tion for Ireland to the exclusion of legislation
for the whole. The ( anxious
to return to power, and they are furious be
cause the conservatives are in office, and they
blame me and others for keeping them there.
They seem blind 1o the fact that Mr. Glad
stone's conduct put the conservatives in office.
They forget that the electors of Great Britain,
by a majority of in arly two to one,condemned
Mr. Gladstone’s bills and destroyed his min
istry. We cannot allow Mr. Gladstone4o re-,
turn to office on his Irish policy. 1 prefer to
join hands with Lord Salisbury and his col
leagues rat her than with Parnell ami his
friends, leaders of the rebellion.”
London, November 23. —In a speech at a
meeting of the natkfnal union of conservatives
at Oxford, today, Lord Salisbury said he saw
in the success of the conference the happiest
augury for the future.
At the evening conference Lord Salisbury
said lie would not renew the discussion of the
question whetlmr home rule would be estab
lished or not. The author of the proposal had
withdrawn his measure. It would pass the
wit of man to produce a home rule scheme
which would be pleasing to both Mr. Ti ■vylan
and Michael I *av ill. The coining session of
parliament would be devoted more, to measures
that would satisfy th© pressing wants of Eng
land. A reform of the local government was
long needed in England, ami the government
hoped to carry a measure that would
meet the wants of the country.
He did not intend, until there
was a manifest change in In land, to propose
increased powers of the local government
there. Obstructions had been threatened to
everything that might be proposed in parlia
ment until the demands of the home rulers had
been granted. The government was prepared
to face obstruction. The present system of
procedure was mot enough. Primm reforms
were ro'piircd to prevent a wanton waste of
public time. lie hoped the efleet of these
measures would be the restoration of the char
acter and usefulness of Ihr house. The <|U»*s
tion of regulation of the liquor traffic, he con
tinued, would have the foremost plate in the
local govt rnmcnl bill.
lie was in favor of liberty in that traffic, as
far as was consistent w ith social order. He
said he was strongly opposed to church dises
tablishment, but admitted that the govern
ment was bound to reform the church by re
moving \\ hatr\cr < v ils wore] proved to exist.
Hr promised a measure for the removal of
tithe ( harm s from land. Tne state. <d agricul
ture, ho said, was deplorable. Whatever
measures of self might obtain, genearl consent
would receive the readiest consideration of the
government.
Referring to the Trafalgar Square troubles,
lie said he regarded }ho meeting there as a
law less demonstration. They were the nat
ural results of Mr. Gladstone’s words. Mr.
Gladstone could not preach to an Irish mob to
defy the law without having his advice ap
plied in England as well. He (Salisbury) was
convinced that the country would say with
him that those claiming the right of public
meeting were not privileged to convert it into
the right of making themselves a public nui
sance. The government were determined, at
all costs, to maintain the supremacy of law.
(Uhoers.| He could not understand what it
was that excited the s\ inpathy of the English
liberals in the case of William O’Brien, who
had broken the law and incited others to law
lessness. He did not fear that the attacks of
liberal leaders on recognized principles of
order would confuse the moral sense of the
English nation. On the contrary, the substan
tial effect would be to convince the public
mind in favor of a policy which vindicated
law and order throughout the kingdom.
[Cheers.]
London. Noveinlicr 25. A. letter written by
Mr. Balfour is published, in which he refers
to the grotesque episode “of Mr. O’Brien’s
clothes.” He says .Mr. O'Brien is not treated
in Tulhunoro prison, either w ith leniency or
severity. Ho has succeeded in sh< Hering
himself under a medical opinion that his lungs
are delicate and his heart’s action is w <\ik.
Mr. Balfour also an vs if Mr. O’Brien refuses
to w ear the prison dress force will not bo ap
plied to compel him. There is no reason why
lie should not fulfill his term in prison, but ho
cannot safely be subjected to the usual dis
cipline.
Penis MoNamarg. n shopkoeiier at Ennis,
county Clare, has Deen sentenced to a week's
imprisonment for selling copies of United Ire
land, cd’ which Mr. O'Brien is editor, and the
selling of w hich has been proclaimed. This is
(he first instance in which a person has been
prosecuted for selling papers.
Pi ui.fN, November 23.—The Express says
Mr. Erank Hugh O’Donnell, ex-\ ice-president
of the home rule confederation, has caused
subpuuias to bo issued for Messrs. Parnell and
Thomas Power O’Connor, as witnesses in his
suit against the London Tinies for fifty thou
sand pounds damages for libel in charging him
with being connected with the Piueuix park
murders.
The Express also says Mr. O’Donnell has
notified Mr. OConnor to produce the minute
Iwks and ledgers of the home rule federation
and national league in his possession, particu
larly these covering the time spent by Mr. Par
nell n Kilmainhani jail. The Parncllitesaro fu
rious. Mr. Parnell had three months ago re
solved to cross the sea in November in order
to ax old U‘ing placed in the xx itnessbox.
Warders today entered the cell inTullamoro
in which Mr. John M.uvlexille is confined,
x hdently stripped him of his clothing and left
him entirely naked. Mr. Mandeville still per
sists that he xx ill not wear the prison uniform.
Mr. 1 hmghty. xx ho was acquitted at Ennis
on one chargo under tho crimes act. but con
x icted on another, and sentenced to a month’s
imprisonment, has been scenuly removed from
the jail at Limerick to Tai I a more prison.
The action brought by Mrs. Margaret Dil
lon. a midwife of Aughrim, in county Galway,
against Mr. Balfour, chief secretary for Iro
-1 land, has Imm n M't aside with costs. The
| plaintiff alleged that Mr. Balfour had caused
I to be published m x arious journals a statement
that the plaintiff had “refused to attend a
| woman I'ccauao she was the xvife of a man
1 who had worked fora iH'veotted person.” On
| the part of the defense it was claimed that My.
Bal tour had made the statement referred to
[ iu the course of debate in the house of com-
mens, and that the words had been uttered
without malice, and that Mr. Balfour was not
responsible for the publication of the statement
in the newspapers.
GKItMANY,
Beuijn. November 23.—The National Zei
tung say:;: It is reported in medical circles
that Dr. Virchow found no cancerous particles
in tlie discharge from the growth in the crown
prince’- throat. The portion sent to Dr. Vir
chow, however, was much shaken in transit.
Dount Itadolinski, chamberlain of the crown
prince, writes that the manifold proofs of
sympathy whir l; the crown prince lias received
from all parts of Germany and from abroad,
together with numerous kindly meant recom
mendations of remedies to cure his malady,
have deeply moved and rejoiced his imperial
liightm -. ft is impossible, the chamberlain
says, to reply separately to the many letters
and telegrams received, and the prince, there
fore, desires to give a general expression of his
thanks for the sympathy extended to him.
A dispatch from Sen Hemo says the crown
prince’s voice continues very hoarse. Dr.
Jirarnaim takes no part in the" medical treat
ment of the patient, which is still intrusted to
Dr. Hovcll. Dr. Brainann, however, will re
main at San Hemo in order to be ready at any
moment to perform a surgical operation in case
dangerous inflammatory action renders such a
course necessary.
Berlin, November 23.—The passion shown
by f’rince Bismarck, in his interview with the
czar here, was on account of his learning of
the receipt by the Ttussian government, of
forged letters, purporting to be signed by him
self, in regard to the relations between the two
governments. It was after the czar bad heard
an explanation of the matte r by Prince Bis
marck that ho gave him tlie assurances spoken
of by the Pesther Lloyd.
Pesth, November 25.—The Pesther Lloyd
ilenie . that each of the powers in the triple
alliance is only bound to assist the ally if
two powers attack it. It says an ally is bound,
under all circumstances, to assist. The paper
also say; that Prince Bismarck informed the
czar, at the interview in Berlin last Friday,
that the triple alliance was the result of Rus
sia’s sullenness and ill will. The reference to
the Orleanist conspiracy in connection with
the forged letter received by the czar is duo to
a desire, to at present avoid recrimination
against Russian notables. The forged letter dis
closure will principally affect Russians. Oniy
secondary details have yet been reported of
the interview between the czar and Prince
Bismarck. The most important points have
not been divulged.
I’ahis, November 25.—The Monitcur (Or
leanist) referring to the revelations of the
Cologne Gazette, declares that the story of the
alleged Orleanist conspiracy to discredit Ger
many in the eyes of Russia is a bad joke, and
could not be taken seriously by any French
journal. The monarchists, itsays, have always
desired and striven to maintain peace.
Perth, November 2G.—The "Pester Lloyd
says the interview between Prince Bismarck
and tlie czar was a dramatic one. Prince
Bismarck was scarcely able to restrain his pas
sion. The |czar assured the German chancel
lor that ho desired peace and did not intend to
attack Germany or to take any part in any
coalition her. Prince Bismarck de
clared that whosover wished peace must not
attack Germany’s allies, lie presented the
causus foederis clearly to the czar who admit
ted that Prince Bismarck’s views were not
new to him, and added that his declarations
regarding Germany applied equally to Aus
tria.
IKANGE.
Paris, November 26.—1 tis not certain that
M. Grevy will announce his resignation Mon
day. In an interview witli a deputy today the
president said:
"I am master of my day and hour. I must
yet see what I have to do and say.”
]’residents of groups of the left, at their con
ference on the propo nd plenary meeting to
appoint a candidate for presidency, failed to
agree.
rOSTOFFIt'E REPORT.
The Third Assistant Postmaster General's
Report.
Washington, November 26. The refiort of
the third assistant postmaster general for the
last fiscal year shows that the total ordinary
postal revenue of the year was $48,116,273;
revenue from money order business, $712,336,
making a total of $48,837,609. Total expendi
tures for the year, including actual and esti
mated outstanding liabilities, amounted to
$53,133,252, showing a deficit in revenue of
$1,295,643. In addition to this, there was cer
tified to the secretary of the treasury, for credit
to Pacific railroad companies, in their account
with tho government, being the amount
earned by them in carrying the mails, $1,187,-
027, so that the total excess of the ccst of the
postal service over its revenues was $5,482,620.
The receipts of tlie year were 11.1 per cent
greater than those of tho previous year. The
increase of expenditures was at a ratio of but
tnree-fourths per cent.
If these rates should emtinue during the
current year, at its close the postal service will
be, practically, again at a self-sustaining basis.
So heavy an increase in revenue, however, says
the report, is not to bo reasonably expected.
Tlie estimate is, that receipts will increase at a
ratio of nine per cent during the current year,
and at a ratio of eight per cent during the
next; so that by tho cud of the latter, the
department's revenues and expenses will not
be far apart. The special delivery system has
made considerable advance during the year,
figures indicating an increase of probably
twenty-one per cent over the previous year.
Attention is called to tho sub-agency for the
distribution of postal cards and stamped en
velopes established during the year at Chicago.
This agency lias not only worked well, but it
lias saved a very considerable amount to the
government. Recommendation is made for
two other similar agencies at St. Louis, Mo.,
and Atlanta, Ga.
The number of pieces of matter registered
during the year at all postoilices was 12,524,-
421, the fees paid en which amounted to sl,-
034,676.
This is an increase of 6.5 per cent over the
business of the previous year. As of con
venience in connection with tho ad
mission of newspapers and periodicals
to mails as second-class matter, and in
vestigations of inspectors, recommendation is
made that in all cases where oaths are required
iu tho transaction of postal business, post
masters bo authorized to administer them.
Three important reconimendations arc also
made as to tho manner of collecting postage on
second-class matter, and as to abuses which
spring from defects in tlie present law. Tlie
first of these is that postage on all second-class
matter shall be paid by the attachment of ad
hesive stamps as is required for all other mail
matter, denominations running from one
eight of a cent, in the case of single pieces, to
anv required amount for bulk matter.
The second is that only legitimate news
papers ami periodicals bu admitted to tlie sec
ond-class rate of postage. In other words, that
certain books, which, it is claimed, are in no
sense periodicals, except that they profess to
bo issued at regular periods such as numerous
series. libraries, etc.—be admitted only at the
third-class rate.
Tho third is that the number of sample
copies of second-class matter to be sent out by
publishers bo limited. Many periodicals, it is
stated, w hich under the law "now gain admit
tance ns second-class matter, being enabled by
the privilege of mailing sample copies, to de
feat the law excluding publications issued for
advertising purposes or at a nominal price of
subscription.

CURIOUS EARTHQUAKE PHENOMENA?.
GEORGIA.
George Lewis, a shipping clerk at the ocean
ttcamship wbaryes, was run over and mor- ,
sally injured Friday afternoon at six o'clock, j
while walking from the rosin sheds to the I
river along tlie railrood track. Dis right thigh ,
was crushed and his left leg was also broken. I
Lewis had been shot in the war, and a little ;
lame, and the grade is down w here he was i
hurt. He had climbed up the embankment to
have easier walking, and the train that
went over him, moved down upon him rap
idly, while lie was himself going in the same
direction. Stimulants were administered to
him at once, and he was taken to the city
hospital, but no hope of his recovery is enter
tained. Ho belongs to one of the old Savan
nah families. His age is about 45, and he is
unmarried.
Monday old man Isaac Payne, of Gilesville,
was found dead on the floor of his shanty. He
had been unwell some time, and Sunday night
a party of friends went to sit up with him.
After a while, he begged them, as a personal
favor, to leave him alone, and they departed.
Coroner Hodnett summoned a jury and held
an inquest. The jury returned a verdict of
death from natural causes.
Mr. Payne was an Englishman, and miserly
in his habits. He had amassed a considerable
sum of money, but it was placed in bank. He
was always reticent concerning liis early his
tory. By profession lie was a cabinet maker,
and a most excellent one.
lie camo here several years ago with his
wife, who soon died, leaving the old man
alone in the world. Superstitious people got
up a rumor that the ghost of his
wife was to be seen around
the premises, and annoyed tiie old man con
siderably. With those whom he knew inti
mately he conversed fluently on literary mat
ters, and seemed to possess a fino and well
trainod intellect.
His remains were taken in charge by Dr. J.
A. Damorn and others, who telegraphed at
once for his brother in lowa, the only known
relative he has in tlie world. He was about
eighty years of age.
s >n, twenty-six years of age, a young man of prom
inent. family, attempted to commit suicide this even
ing at six o’clock. He had been drinking heavy
for a week or ten days, and was i ery low-spirited.
He swallowed twenty grains of morphine, and as
soon as the fatal dose was taken, repented and sent
for his brother, SV. H. Edmonson, who summoned
|>hysicians. There is a bare chance that be may
southTcarolina.
The general assembly of South Carolina con
vened in annual session in the state house at
noon Tuesday. Both houses opened with the
usual formalities, and immediately proceeded
to the consideration of business. James Sim
ons, of Charleston, is speaker of the house of
representatives, and W. L. Maudlin, of Green
ville. lieutenant-governor, president of the
senate. Governor Richardson’s message shows
the state's debt to bo $6,400,000. Four hun
dred thousand dollars of this amount becomes
duo in July next, to meet which tlie governor
recommends that a loan he negotiated for that
amount, to be secured by state bonds, similar
to South Carolina brown consol bonds, which
now rank among the first in the stock ex
changes of tlie country. He thinks this loan
would be readily taken at 4 or 4J per cent
interest.
In the house of representatives tonight,the
bill to repeal the agricultural lien law was,
after a spirited debate, killed by a vote of 67
to .36. bill, the object of which was to dis
continue appropriations for tlie support of the
state militia, was also rejected by a vote of 61
to 42.
A bill to require pe-sons owning or keeping
dogs to pay an annual license for tho same,
gave rise to a spirited debate, and was finally
killed by a vote of 68 to 36, much to tho cha
grin of persons engaged in the raising of sheep.
A bill (introduced last session by Mr. Miller,
colored republican member from Beaufort) to
amend the present election law so as to
abolish the eight-box system and have only two
boxes, was slaughtered by an overwhelming
majority. Sir. Miller, however, embraced the
opportunity to make a strong political speech
in favor of the bill. He declared that the
present system was dishonest, that men were
holding offices to which they had never been
elected, and that tho republicans of tho state
had no showing at all and could not have their
proper representation while tho law was in
force.
Hon. Samuel McGowen, of Abbeville, was
elected associate justice of the supreme court
for the term of six years.
In the house, a bill was introduced providing
for tho relief of disabled confederate soldiers
and sailors and tho widows of others engaged
in said service.
Tho ways and means committee reported ad
versely upon tho bill to establish a state homo
for disabled confederate soldiers, and the con
sideration thereof was made the special order
for next Wednesday.
In the senate, tlie bill to establish a college
of agriculture and mechanics, and to devolve
the duties of the department of agriculture
upon its board of directors, was tabled without
debate.
There is an exodus of people from Oconee and
Anderson counties, to Texas. Last week
a special through car, containing sixty or
seventy souls, left Westmiusterfor Jefferson,
Tex. Another similar car leaves tonight, load
ed with emigrants who are mainly from Ander
son county. There are still others to follow,
and if the thing continues many months at the
present rate, the population of these counties
will be materially reduced.
Frequent conversations with the emigrants
develop no special reasons for the exodus fur
ther than a general desire to better their for
tunes. Several bad crop years in succession
have caused dissatisfaction and depression
among the farmers, and this season having
brought in more money than usual, many are
using their surplus cash to roach a more favor
able country.
An extraordinary occurrence is reported from
Summerton, Clarendon county. A colored
girl, seventeen years of age, who had been ill
several days, died last Wednesday. Tho
body was properly prepared and dressed for
burial, and placed in a coffin, the darkies of
the neighborhood, holding their customary
noisy "wake” over the corpse all through
Wednesday night. Tho funeral services were
held in the colored church Thursday after
noon, and the body was to be interred in a
graveyard about two miles away.
When the cortege had reached a point
within 500 yards of tlie cemetery
the pallbearers were startled by a crying noise
somewhat resembling the mewing of a cat, ap
parently emanating from the coffin. The pro
cession was halted, and after considerable dis
cussion it was resolved that the coffin should be
opened. Upon removing the lid it was found,
to the great consternation of the funeral party,
that the woman was alive, but unconscious,
and that a new born babe shared with her
the narrow bod. Several of the pall-bearers
and mourners were terror-stricken and tied.
Those who remained however ministered to
the wants of tlie dead woman and her infant,
and in a short time both were carried to a
neighboring house where they received kindly
and necessary attention. At last accounts the
mother was doing well, there being every indi
cation of her complete recovery, whilst the in
fant is hearty and robust and is thriving as well
as any pickaninny bom under ordinary condi
tions and circumstances.
Some curious earthquake phenomena have
just been discovered iu an isolated section be
tween Summerville and t'harlcston, which
boars terrible evidences of being eno of tho
three foci of the great slmck of August, 1886.
The ground for miles is literally overturned
by the efforts of tho terrific forces to escape
[ from the depths of the earth’s bosom. In
> consequence there are to l>c seen many deep
I pits, on the margin of which have
been thrown up pure white sand, such as is
seen only on the seashore. Ou tho white sand
| thus upheaved has sprung up a dense growth
of sea plants, such as is found on tlie tops of
tho white sand hills created by the wind
I currents on tho soa islands of this coast. It is
I evident that these seeds, from which these
! plaifts have sprung, have been ejected from
I great depths, where they have doubtless beep
buried many centuries wit lout losing their
germinating powers. This.phenomena is well
worthy of investigation by coutouical experts
and scientific seismologists.
TENNESSEE.
Before adjournment of the North Alabama
conference of the Souibern Methodis' church,
at Tuscaloosa, Tuesday night, a resolution w as
adopted rc pie-tiiig Pr. D. C, Kelley, one of
the most eminent Methodist divine’s in Amer
ica, and missionary treasurer of the general
conference, to resign his official position on
account of his utterances in reference to the
Emma Ablxitt episode at Nash ville. The res
olution will create a great sensation through
out the entire Southern Methodist chur li.
Dr. Kelley defended Miss Abbott's rising in
church to defend herself against the harsh
terms used in Rev. M. Candler’s sermon on
theatergoing.
The board os missions of tho M. E. church,
south, met in the office of the secretary of the
board at the publishing house, at 10 o’clock
this morning, in response to a call issued No
vember 9th. The proceedings of the meetings
of local members of the board relative to the
treasurer, Rev. Dr. D. C. Kelly, and his utter
ances regarding the Emma Abbott episode at
McKendrie church, were harmonious, and af
ter some discussion the following paper was
presented by Dr. Kelly and adopted:
To members of the board of missions: Having
been informed by brethern, whom I trust, that my
snppossod attitude towards theaters Is in the way
of my usefuluessjas missionary treasurer of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, and that my
published card is not sufficiently explicit on this
subject. I now define my position further. I am
opposed to any attendance at theaters by memliers
of our church, and uphold ouf ministers in the cor
rection of this evil, by pubUc and private ad
monition, and by a patient and kind, but firm
administration of discipline. I regret and withdraw
my articles in the American, in so far os they may
be construed to be au indorsement of interruption
of public worship on October 9, at McKendrie
church. I consider myself to have said heretofore
all contained in this paper, but as it is thought that
this .statement is clearer and more e isily understood
than tlie statement of the card, I gladly write and
sign this paper. L>. C. Kelly.
ALABAMA.
The quiet little village of Avondale, a suburb
Birmingham, has a first class sensation today.
Three months ago a handsome young man of
pleasant address located in the village. He
gave his name as Charles Winningham, and
claimed Texas as his home. He made many
friends and in a brief time won the hand and
heart of the village belle, Miss Ellen Dobbs.
They were married October 24th., and in a
few weeks the happy bridegooom began receiv
ing long letters from Texas, which were
signed “your loving wife.” Ono of the letters
fell into the hands of the male relatives of the
Avondale bride, who very promptly investi
gated the matter. They soon learned that
the charming Charles Winningham was
Robert Willingham, who lias two wives in
Georgia and one in Texas, in addition
to Mrs. Willingham number four. Two years
ago Willingham was arrested in Atlanta for
bigamy, and released on $-4,000 bond, pending
trial. He jumped his bond and went to Texas,
where ho soon married again. In a short time
he left wife number three, and came to Avon
dale and married Miss Dobbs. He was arrested
this afternoon on a charge of bigamy, and will
be tried tomorrow, if he escapes the venge
ance of his last wife’s friends and relatives,
who are terribly excited over the astounding
developments.
