MICHAEL
UP THE HUDSON RIVER-
frlncrs, KuIhIIo Knjoy, a Delightful
Kill, on the Dolphin.
New York, May 27.— Her royal high
ness, Princess Eulalie, some days ago
expressed her intention of enjoying
everything that would tend to induce
her to American life, permit her to
Witness the beauty of American sceneiy
and bring her in closer touch with the
people of tlie United States. After n
refreshing night's rest and a breakfast
that removed every trace of fatigue,
she informed Commander Davis that
she would accept the hospitality of the
Dolphin anil in tui informal manner
take the trip up the Hudson that hud
been proposed.
It was 2:30 o'clock when she ap
proached the landing and made her
way through the crowd which, by some
means, had become acquainted with the
proposed trip. A royal salute of twen
ty-one guns was fired. Her highness
was dressed in a costume befitting the
trip. She wore a neat tailor-made dress
of dark blue serge, a sailor hat of dark
blue aud red. The jacket was cut V
shape, showing a short front and collar
and collar and enffs of white striped
with pink. Her hands were dressed in
tan colored gloves, and she carried a
parasol. The whole get-up caused her
to look for all the world liko a jaunty
American girl off on a spin around the
bay. The prince wore a light gray suit
and white straw hat.
The Dolphin proceeded np the river
at a good speed, reaching a point above
Yonkers at 4:30 o’clock, when her nose
was turned down stream. It was just
6 o'clock when the foot of Ninety-sixth
street was reached aud the royal party
went ashore.
Wan ll»« Commander Justified ?
Newport, R. I., May 27.—A court ol
inquiry is in session at the torpedo sta
tion for the purpose of deciding whether
a courtmartial should be called to con
sider i he ease of Commander Lyons, of
the Monongahela. from which, during
the recent cruise, an apprentice boy
named C^uinn was lost. The ship was
under good headway, in a heavy sea,
when Quinn, who was dragging his
clothes in the water for the purpose of
cleansing, them, lost his balance and
went overboard. Preparations were
made to bring the ship to and lower the
lifeboat, but Commander Lyons, coming
on deck, decided that, as the night war-
dark and the illuminated lifebuoys had
been lost, there was no possibility of
finding the struggling boy, while there
was great danger in launching the life
boat in such a sea.

A DIG SENSATION.
Chatham** County Engineer Suspended
I for IHrellctlon of l>uty.
Savannah, May 27. — Quite a
sensation developed in a secret meeting
of the county commisssioners when
County Engineer Blandford was sus
pended until Monday for direliction of
duty, pending an order to show cause
on that day why his resignation should
not be asked for.
Blandford has been in the service for
Borne years and has been considered by
every one an efficient and able engineer.
Chairman J. J. Dale, of the commis
sioners, has pressed these charges
strongly for a month past and at the
meeting Thursday he moved to ask for
Blandford's resignation unconditionally.
He was not sustained, however, he be
ing the only one voting in favor of the
motion.
i The fight promises to develop the big
gest sensation in county circles that has
appeared in years. Opposition to Chair
man Dale has brought about a number
of dissensions among the commissioners.

Now Hemingway Wants Pardon.
Jackson, Miss., May 27.—The pardon
of Vincent, the Alabama defaulting
treasurer, has started a movement to
secure the pardon of ex-Treasnrer Hem-
the penitentiary in November, 1890.
He was short $15,000. A communica
tion in the Clarion-Ledger declares him
to be more worthy of pardon than Vin
cent. and refers to the fact that while
Vincent was sentenced for twenty years,
tie only served six. and says that Hem
ingway has now served over half his
time. 'The ex-treasurer has many strong
friends who will contend for his release,
but there will be a powerful opposition
to any clemency in iiis case.
Mrs Davis Sick.
Atlanta, May 27.—Mayor J. Taylor
Ellyson, of Richmond, Va., who carat*
here for the purpose of accompanying
the ladies to New Orleans, has left for
that city, accompanied by Miss Winnie
Davis. Mrs. Jefferson Davis was to
have gone, too, and accompany there
mains of her husband from the Cres
cent City to the old Confederate capi
tal. At"the last moment, however, sne
was compelled to abandon the idea,
owing to indisposition. Mrs. Davis
will go to Richmond in time to be pres
ent at next week’s ceremonies.

The Valkyrie Came to Grief In the First
ltace She Sailed.
London, May 27.—Lord Dunraven’s
Valkyrie, the yacht that hopes to bring
back the America’s cup has sailed her
first race and came to grief about a
mile from the winning line, where her
bowsprit snapped off. Still she came in
second. She would have been second
anyhow—not first—even if the accident
had not occurred, for the Prince of
Wale’s new cutter, the Brittannia,
proved faster than the Valkyrie both
Wore the wind and in beating back.
The Britannia and the Valkyrie were
both designed by Watson on the same
model, and were built side by side in
the same yard. They look much alike.
The course was from Oravesend, at the
mouth of the Thames, out 30 miles to
Mouse Lightship and return.
There were four starters, all of the
highest class—the Valkyrie, the Britan
nia, the Calluna, owned uy Peter Don
aldson, and the Iverna, which was the
only yacht not new, owned by John
Jameson.
The Prince of Wales manifested great
interest in the race and it is supposed to
have been due to his intention to try to
beat Emperor William’s yacht Meteor
with the Britannia at the Cowes races.

CROKER BUYS A PAPER.
It I. Reported That He I. the Purchaser
of the Xaelivllle American.
Chattanooga, May 27.—A reliable
Nashville man. has stated here that
Richard Croker had purchased the Nash,
ville American, the leading Democratic
paper of the capital of Tennessee, and
the change of ownership would shortly
be announced. »
As Croker has already invested a good
deal of money in the Belle Meade Farm,
near Nashville, the report of the pur
chase of the American is believed by
many persons in that city. Color is
given to the report by the faot that
Walter Cain, who has been doing lead,
ing editorial work for the American, is
now in New fe>rk, having left for that
city rather hurriedly last Monday.
The American has been mainly owned
by Duncan Cooper, a capitalist, and a
shrewd man of business, hat not a prac
tical newspaper man. The paper has a
large plant, but is heavily bonded, and
it is believed that it has not been mak
ing money of late years. If Croker has
bought it he haa probably done so at a
moderate price.

MR. SKIFF’S OMCK A WEEK
TALK.
Why is it that the liquor saloons are
obliged to close up shop on election
days no matter the character of the
election if a public and offical one the
bar-rooms must be closed. If it is a
ligitmate business honorable honest
and eh va ting ;to its patrons why close
up on those days uo other business is
prohibited from being transacted dur
ing these election days. We were in
Atlanta the day the vote was taken for
water bonds and out of the one hun
dred or more whisky shops not one of
them were open a fellow could get
nothing in a ligitmate way to quench
his whisky thirst or moiston his parch
ed lips. The police seemed to have
nothing to do but walk their beats.
What a loss to the proprietor of these
saloons and what a gain and blessing
to their patrons and many of thi ic
families. Such a loss and gain in that
one day’s closing what would be the
loss and gain if eternally closed which
in our opinion ought to be. We often
hear the remark if the saloons in Ath
ens were publicly opened it would
brighten up trade and generally bene
fit the city. But we say if a city can
not exist without bar-rooms let such a
city’s fate be like that of Sodom and
Comoro.
The people we meet in Atlanta ex
press themselves boldly and indignant
ly as to the jury’s verdict in the Cadle
murder oase and recommend Clarke
oonnty establish lynch law in criminal
cases not trust to the Federal courts
and jur^ for justioe. Hon. H. H.
Carlton’s communication in the Banner
and published in the Constitution was
a surprise to some of the citizens in
Atlanta and enlog'aed by others that
were knowing to the faota »a stated b;
Mr. Carlton. Then comes the dastard
ly treatment that Mr. Walter Lowe re
ceived. Summing up these public
doings and statements with the gossip
and loud talk added brings Athens in
bad standing .as seen by Atlanta we
are sorry to say, bnt let the city com
mence e new era, turn over a new leaf,
one that is as pare and white as the
driven snow and regain the honor it
has lose
