Denver, Col., March 9. —In the senate, Senator Galloway’s resolution introduced that the senate send President CL v-land a songratulatory telegram, came up for action. It found opposition, even the demo 'ratic side remaining passive. On motiotf of Senator Stevt-fisOiq one of the dissenters, ['lceland’s bttir on silver addressed to Warner and other democrats of congress was read by the cleric An exh-act from an edi torial in the News, the leading democratic ?aper of Denver, which spoke of the “lament able ignorance” of President Cleveland, was ilso read. Round after round of severe criticism was hc-ajK-J on the president for his Adverse silver views, and finally {Senator Gal Io way withdrew the resolution.

Washington Notes. Washington, March 9. —Fhejiomeual weather continue! and visitxo. are still mjoying themse’v® visiting the hi any places rs interest in the 'city. The crowd at the capitol is smaller aud the building is under going a thorough cleaning made necessary by the great crowds of visitors during the jast week. The general impression among the senators appears to lie that a special session of the tenate w ill not last more than two or three weeks. The caucus committees on majority and minority that the senate appointed for that Mir pose, expect to arrange a committee of memliership anti believe that the lists will be "evised sufficiently to properly place the new maters. A number of democratic senators and rep resentatives are preparing to remain here tome time yet. and the impression prevails hat there will be many changes made in the most prominent offices during the next few lays. Several state delegations in congress lad a meeting since the 4th inst., for the pur pose of agreeing ujM>n some basis of distribut ing offlo's. The changes expected to occur Irst are in the prominent positions in the de partment here, Ums the consulates, which lave no tenures, and f'>reign missions, some if which will be vacan tby resignations an ticipating requests to that effect It. is gen erally believed that postmasters will not be listurbed under ordinary circumstances that those who have not violated the civil lervice laws will be permitted to serve lut this term. The same may be said of cus toms and revenue collectors, United States marshals and district attorneys. A strong pressure is being brought to L ar upon the prewdent for appointments in separUnenta, and among the qonii unions anticipated for the first of next week, and those, assistant secretaries and auditors, and all members of the new cabinet liave taken the oath of office. They will not, however, assume active con trol of their departments until Monday. Each of the retiring secretaries was visited by employes and farewells were exchanged. MYSTERIOUS SPOOK. Huinfcn Deviltry Palmed Off for a Spirlt s tfal .Manifestation. Missouri Valley, la., March o.—The in habitants of Sandy point, in this county, are terribly excited over the appearance of a ghost in a haunted house. The house ha* been unoccupied tor some time, and the ghost is said to make nightly visits. The alleged spook is said to make his appearance in the centre of the dining room arrayed in black, and after a short stay, to ascend upward through the ceiling overhead. Gne of the •villagers attempted to strike it across the hips witn a cane, bur the cane came in con tact with nothing and the spook laughed and asked if he thought it possible to harm him. This narative is told by the postmaster at Sandy Point and by all the citizens residing in the vicinity. A committee of 100 grangers purpose to surround the house, taking with them a barrel of tar and feat tiers for use if any human deviltry is discovered. McAden Censured. Raleigh, March 9.—The house of com mos committee appointed under the resolu tion concerning the assault on Richard Pear son, the member from Buncombe county, by R. Y. McAden, made a report saying that McAden has infringed upon the rights of every legislative body to protect itself and its members from ‘ personal violence; that he is punishable as for contempt of the privil eges of the bouse, and that the manner of conducting his trial is in the discretion of the house, but in view of the approaching close of the session and the pressure of public busi ness it is inexpedient to do more than to adopt resolutions censuring the conduct of McAden. Booth Remains on the Boards. Boston, March 9.—The report that Edwin Booth contemplates retiring from the stage is pronounced by Mr. Booth himself to be with out foundation. He is under an engagement for next season and w-ill devote most of his time to the New England circuit, appearing only in the cities of New York Philadelphia apO fiaß,imore outaide of New England. ; < taw ■„ » GRANT’S CONDITION. EPITHELIOMA OF THE TONGUE THE DISEASE OF THE WARRIOR. Complete Diagnosis of the Case Which Affiicts the Old Commander —Letter of Explanation and Mutual l’u derwtandings Reached. New York, March 9.—Gen. Grant did not get up until near noon, and partook of a light breakfast in liquid form. He passed a good night, sleeping nearly all the time, and dur ing the morning he dozed in a comfortable manner. While the general’s condition is without material change, he suffers toss pain . and apj.>ears to be more easy. New York, March 9.—The Medical Re cord, heretofore quoted in these dispatches in connection with accounts of the condition of Gen. Grant, contain the following: “In view of receut developements in Gen. Grant’s case, the Record’s bulletin of two weeks ago, so largely quoted by the press of the country, requires some explanation. It is fair to state that facts at that time presented by the Medical Record were founded on the best authority, that of Dr. Fordyce Barker, . atteudiug physician of Gen. Grant, and this explanation is manifest in the following note: “24 East Tuibty-eighth Street—Dear Dr. Shrady: The statement which I made you was literally true at the time I made it, and lam certain Dr. Douglas would then have made precisely the same. I saw Dr. Doug las last evening and he then said what I had ; told you was exactly what he should have said at the time. But Monday after 1 saw you the action of congress had a most depressing effect on Gert Grant, his vital I powers suddenly broke down aud the local malady speedily assumed., a now aspect. I Newsjiajier accounts have been greatly exag ‘ gvrafed, aud we have never anticipated any | such sjwdy termination ns they have indi • cated. I do not believe Dr Douglas ever used the word cancer in connection with the ' case. We Lave always spoken of it as epi | thelioma of a malignant type. Probably it . was greatly improved for a time by the local ; treatment of Dr. Douglas, and the local con | dition was manifestly improving until the moral shock broke down his general system. Ever faithfully, [Signed.] Fordyce Barker. “Wednesday noon, March 4, 1885. “It is a matter of deep regret that the grave suspicions entertained of the serious nature of Gen. Grant’s disease are confirmed b the diagnosis of epithelioma of the tongue and sauces. This disease we name, which is now perhajw heard of by the general public lor the first time, assumes an importance aw to s udy which it could never otherwish ob tain. aud consequently the daily papers are educating the people with regard to it, so 3hat the term epithelioma malignancy and infiltration will be as well understood as in former times were those of suppuration, pus iraek and bullet- cyste. “As might havfebeen anticipated under the circumstances, the published reports of the general’s condition were very much exag gerated. The disease is by no means as ex tensive as is generally believed. In fact, the ulcerations, small in extent, are limited to the right pillars of the sauces ; the anterior one being perforated at its base adjoining the right side. The root of the tongue is indur ated to a slight extent, as is also the neigh boring gland under the angle of the jaw on the right side of the neck. The roof of the mouth along the line of the hard palate and side of the median line contains two small warty-like excrescences, which show a ten dency toward cellproliforation. “The epiglottis is free from any abnormality as are all parts, although Induration of the tongue has existed more or less since last fall, when the patient was first seen by Dr. Douglas. The ulcerations have appeared quite recently. It was during their progress that the general suffered from a pain in a right ear, which had been entirely relieved by local application of four per cent, solution of cocoacine. Under the same treatment all pain in deglutition is now entirely controlled and the pat ient kept in a very comfortable state. The pulse, which is nominally sixty per minute, occasionally reaches eighty beats. Bodily temperature normal. Appe tite fair, which is saying everything in its favor as the genet**! is not a hearty eater. “His bodily con'iition is, however, much below jiar, and is more U> be considered at present than the local disease. The treat ment of the case has been judiciously conser servative from the start. Fluid extract of cocoa is administered internally and idio form is dusted upon the ulcerations. Con trary to the general impression, the tongue itself is not ulcerated, nor has it been, so far as we can learn, at any time during the prog ress of the disease. The troublesome tooth, said to have boon extracted for the relief of lingual ulceration, was on the opposite or sound side of the mouth, and was removed to relieve a persistent ache in the left ear.” BASE BALL TALK. An Important Meeting for the Scheduling of Gaines. New York, March 9. The committee to arrange the schedule of base ball games for the ensuing season met at the Fifth avenue hotel. The committee was appointed at the last annual meeting of the national base ball league in November last and are to make their report to the annual convention. The work of perfecting a schedule is a long, tedious one, and after a five hours’ session the committee failed to complete any definite arrangement. They will meet again and perfect the list in time for the convention. Everything has been satisfactorily ar ranged between the league and American as sociation and there will be only two or three i conflicting dates. Among the first to arrive were Boden, of Boston, Spalding, of Chicago, and Simmons, of Philadelphia. The were soon followed by i managers and players from most of the 1 eague and American clubs. The blacklist is well represented. Mr. Lucas, of St. Louis, who will represent his club as a full member for the first time, will endeavor at the meeting to secure the rein statement of his blacklisted men. In addi tion to the influence which wifi be brought to bear in behalf of the expelled players several of them will be represented by lawyers. The outlook, however, for their reinstatement is not bright. The old league men are solid against having anj'thing to do with them, and all say they will not vote for their rein statement. Among the blacklisted players who will try to get reinstated is Nichols, who was expelled several years ago for crooked ness. He will be represented by a lawyer. Asleep on Their Eugine. Montreal, March 9.—A gentleman who was on the train that into collision on the Intercolonial railway with a freight train says the cause of the collision was that the driver and fireman, who were l>oth killed, were asleep on the engine, and ran through the station when they should have stopped. • « - COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY . »\ >■ Nl, MARCH 10, 1885. WALES TO BE SPARED. THE VISIT OF THEIR ROYAL HIGH- NESS’ NOT DANGEROUS. I Invincible* Invite It —Imprisoned Ameri cans—General Wolseley Reviews and Addresses His Troops in Egypt. Al! Foreign News. Paris, March 9.—Another meeting of in vincibles of a more informal character than the receut conclave took place at Franeon ville, a village between Sannois and Ponnoise near Paris. As is unknown, through the seizure of certain compromising letters in London, the meeting was to have come of at Sannois, but on reaching the place fixed on I for the rendezvous it was found to be closed. The party, which included eight only of the eleven delegates present at the conclave, therefore, walked on to Fraconville, dis cussing financial matters as they went. A favorite occupation of real and bo gus invincibles would appear to lie that the conspirators have an occasumal difficulty in cashing checks. This is not exactly amazin g. The meeting resolved to draw up a letter for transmission to the Prince of Wales through Michael Flannery, copies of the let ter to be sent to Earl Spence, to the lord mayor of Dublin and other notables. This precious document is addressed to “His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Grand Master of the English Freemasons,” and con ' descendingly promises that consideration and good will shall be shown during his trip to Ireland. Neither the prince nor princess shall be harmed during their stay on the sacred soil of Erin. “Go and see for your self,’ says the document, ‘what the Irish people have suffered. We shall thank you, although you are the residuary, legatee of centuries of usurpation and attempted extir mination.” The letter concludes: “The life of your royal highness, apart from the good feeling shown in your proposed journey, has no definite connections with | Ireland’ - aspirations ar Ireland's wrongs. fSirned) “forth?

Nevada, Mo., March 9.—A pitiable Hight came to notice here on a passing train, being Mrs. Hale and her four idiotic and helpless offspring. The party was taken on board at Ellis, in this county, and was on its way to some point in Henry county, where they have relatives living. The mother is seventy years old and in feeble health. 'rhe eldest of tho imbeciles is a man fifty three years old, while the others are growing t gray. Some of them were as helpless as in fants, and none of them were capable of caring for themselves. The family has been living in this county for a num ber of years, and its Instory is peculiarly sad. The father of the children is 1 familiarly known as “Parson Hale,” a title which he acquired by his frequent exhorta tions at Methodist meetings in his neighbor hood. He is of an eccentric nature, and would frequently leave home for weeks at a time, without apparent reason. Several months ago he left, and lias not been heard of since. There were eight children born to the old couple, seven of whom are “idiots,” the other being of sound mind; three have died, and the sane one is living out in the country, the four helpless ones being with their moth er. They have lived in wretched proverty for years, being possessed of no means and hav- , ing only what they could provide for each other. The pitiable condition of this family is not without its moral. The parents of Parson Hale were cousins, the parents of Mrs. Hale were near reletives, and Parson Hale and his wife are cousins. After a New Trial. New Orleans, March 9.—The counsel for Judge Ford and the other murderers of M urphy have moved for a new trial on the i ground that the verdict was contrary t to the j law and evidence, and further, because the j verdict was rendered and recorded on Sun day. In point of fact tlie verdict was read , two minutes before midnight, but was not re ‘ corded until five minutes after. The motion I will be heard Tuesday, when the accused will be arraigned for sentence. The judge is ; likely to refuse a new trial and give the full ; extent of the law. The city council was to : have impeached Ford Thursday night but he avoided it by resigning. A Notorious Murderer Speeded Away to Prevent Lynching. Louisville, Ky., March 9.—A Megram from Mt. Sterling says that Mon table Hate field had been brought there from Wolfe 1 county for safe confinement, as it is feared that he will be lynched if left in the latter place. Hatfield is known as the leader in one i of the most horrible crimes on record in the ‘ i mountain country. J The trouble originated in Pike county, dur • ing which one of the McCoy boys killed one ! of the Hatfields. The latter taught the mub- Iderer. That night the Hatfields got their gang to gether, went to McCoy’s house and captured all four of the McCoy boys. 'They were after old man McCoy, too, but he escaped to the . j mountains. The Hatfields kept their prisou i ers for a day, then took them over the river l to West Virginia, tied all four of them to ! trees, face foremost, anil then standing a few paces off shot them one by one in the back of the head. They loft their victims all dead I and bound to the trees. So great was tho terror created throughout that part of the country by this crime, that it was some days before anybody dared to go and cut the bod ies down. (Crazed by Disgrace.

After examining the body, which proved to bo that of a cowboy named Samuel Hughes, Mrs. Roberts, wife of the proprietor of the house, Samuel Thompson and Edmund R. Goodrich, who did the shooting, were called and examined. The evidence brought out was to the effect that Goodrich was employed in the house as a general roustabout, that it was his duty, in the absence of the landlord, to let in tboso who came seeking lodgings after the regular bed-time. Hughes and Thompson had l)oen stopping at the house off and on, and about 12 or 1 o’clock came there for lodgings. Goodrich got up and let them in. Both Hughes and Thompson had been drinking, and ax they entered the door the former gave a cowboy yell. Goodrich expostulated with him, and after some words went behind the counter. Hughes then went up to the coun ter, registered his name and gave another yell. Some words passed between Hughes and Goodrich, whan the former started b</> hind the counter and seized hold of Goof rich’s arms. Goodrich endeavored to push him oil, when Thompson run in between them. Goodrich then slipped out behind them went into a room in a hall leading from the office to the dining-room, and tak ing a (‘Jolt’s double-action 45-caliber revolver from nudes the pillow of a bed he occupied, started back to tho office. As he stepped to the door of tho room Hughes was standing in the office door, about five or six feet from Goodrich, when the pis tol went off and Hughes fell, tho ball taking effect in his neck, and a little to the right of the Adam’s apple. Goodrich dropped the pis tol, ran to Hughes and raised his head, at the same time exclaiming, “1 didn’t mean to shoot you, Sam!” The wounded man replied, “You liave killed me,” aud in a few momenta breathed his last. Goodrich immediately dressed himself, went out, surrendered to a policeman, and was locked up in jail. Th< jury found a verdict in accordance with the above facts, and the prisoner was committed for further examination by a magistrate. PROHIBITION DYNAMITE. Blowing l T p u Saloon in the Cause of Tem perance. Audubon, la., March 9.—At Exira, ten miles south of here, an attempt was made to blow up a saloon building. For years a war has been carried on there over tho liquor question, but last year the anti-prohibition* isls elected their candidates, and a few weeks ago two saloons wore opened. At the muni pal election the license party carried every thing. A few days after ward one of the sal<K>n keepers was arrested but afterward dis charged. A terrific explosion startled the town. An explosive jiackage wound on a rope was placed in front of Morris & Hell man’s saloon, one of tho best buildings in the I town. | Nearly every particle of glass in tho build j ing was smashed and a large holo blown in ! the floor. More or loss glass was smashed in buildings 200 feet away. Two men have lieen arrested charged with engineering the explo sion, though it is generally believed they were the tools of inorfe prominent people. The deed was doubtless instigated by one or two practical prohibitionists, and it is gener ally condemned by the temperance men. The people of Exira are frightened and excited, and the attorney engaged for the prosecution openly chargee that the justice of the peace is in collusion with the prisonersand will acquit them whatever evidence may be introduced. MADDEN’S TOURNAMENT. The Heavy Weights Thump Each Other Out of Time in New York. New York, March 9.—Charley Mitchell wax referee at Madden’s heavy weight box ing tournament.
