New York, June 25.—Another step has been taken by tlie opponents of Governor Cleveland in this Slate. John Kelly, through his organ, the Star, announces hiß unalterable opposition to him and give these very plain aud cogent reasons for his course : First, Because he is the weakest candi date prominently mentioned. Second, I'mause against him Blaine can carry New York. Third, Because a majority of the New York delegates to Chicago are against him. Lourtn, Because in office he has flatly op - posed the principles of his party. This simply emphasizes what has been known here ever since the meet iug of the Saratoga convention. There was an attempt to make a local deal with Tam many hut U has failed. Governor Cleveland's course has been such that Tammany will not support him before the nomination, and it is well known in New York that he will he secretly knifed if he is nominated, while he will not be opposed openly. Whether the majority of the delegation favor Gover nor Cleveland makes no difference. Tam many will make no fight against the unit rule, but men like ex-Senator Tom Grady will inform the other State delegations and perhaps the conventton that Cleveland can not carry his own State. In its news columns the Star publishes a list of the Cleveland and anti-Cleveland delegates to Chicago. It concludes that 35 are lor and 37 are against Cleveland. At the regular meeting of the County Democracy it was agreed to send 524 mem bers to Chicago and to support Governor Cleveland for the Presidency. The Bayard men are chuckling over the discomfiture of the friends of Mr. Cleveland during the past two or three days. For some reason not fully explained there is less confidence to-day that Cleveland will he nominated than there was a week ago. No person can tell exactly what has checked the Cleveland “boom” beyond the fact that some of the so-called “independent” Repub lican newspapers have given expression to the opinion that he would not be entirely satisfactory to their supposed followers. The general drift of opinion and gossip in Democratic circles is that Cleveland has just enough strength to make him a formid able candidate, and one whom the others must combine to heat. Just now he is the target for the attacks of all those who want another candidate nominated. It is a curious fact, and one which occa sions both surprise and comment, that de spite Mr. Tilden’s letters there are a large number of prominent Democrats here who still believe that he can aud will be forced to accept the nomination at Chicago. These men insist that there is no other candidate who can lead the party to success in No vember, and that it is a great mistake to assume that Mr. Blaine will not be a strong candidate before the people and that the latter will not use every effort to make the canvass an aggressive one. They think that hv the time the convention meets on the Bth of July this fact will become so mani fest that the party will be obliged to turn to Mr. Tilden and oblige him to become the candidate. LIGHTNING’S* DEADLY WORK. A Series of Fatal Bolts. To the Savannah Times by Southern Telegraph. Salem, 0., June 25. —During a thunder storm last evening Miss Minnie Westphar, a young lady of IG, was standing in the doorway of her home five miles north of this place, when a bolt of lightning struck the veranda killing her instantly. Sardis, Pa., June 25.—A severe thunder storm passed over this section yesterday about 3:30 p. m. The lightning struck the large barn of Joseph YVald on the east end and ran down into a wagon shed, killing his son, aged 13, and two horses. Coury, Pa., June 25. —A terriGc thun der storm prssed just north of the city last night, doing considerable damage. Mr. Henry Case, a wealthy farmer, had several head of blooded stock killed. They were standing under a tree, when the bolt, com iug down the tree, killed them instantly. Neillsville, Wis., June 25. —During the storm yesterday afterroon the lightning struck the house of George Brooks, in Grant township, killing his eldest daughter, aged 18, and partly paralyzing the next oldest girl. The house caught fire and was burned with its contents, including the body of the daughter. Wheeling, W. Va., June 25.—Last evening a terrible thunderstorm passed over this city, accompanied by a high wind. Half a dozen houses were struck by lightning, but no material damage was done, although several inmates had narrow escapes. M YSTERIOUS *M URDERS. A Series of Secret Crimes in Mexico. To the Savannah 1 imes by Southern Telegraph. City of Mexico, June 25.—Many women have within the last few days been discov ered mysteriously murdered within and just outside of this city. A few days ago, near the centre of the tow’n, the body of a woman was found with three dagger wounds in her breast. No one knew her. There was no trace of the murderer. The very next night another unfortunate creature was found dead near the Pervalville race course with two wounds in her breast where a dag ger had been driven up to its hilt. The next morning still another corpse of a wo man was found in the Iralajarolo quarter. Three stabs, swift and sure, had sped her to her long account, and no trace was left be hind to give a clue to the murderer. Three crimes like this, silently done, leaving no trace but a dead body behind, would, else where, send a thrill of horror through the country. Here they excite little notice. ATLANTA.

Bismarck, Dak, June 25—For some time ,horse thieves have infeste 1 McLane county and country along the Missouri. Sun day afternoon one named Jacob O’Neil, was caught by farmers .and hanged to a tele graph pole. He was discovered by a stage driver and a note in his pocket bore the words : ‘ O’Neil, horse thief.” The report reached this city last night, that more of the gang were pursued north to the Mouse River, where a fight ensued, and one thief was shot, and three others hanged. The farmers have been exasperated and rejoice over the news. They say they will lynch the horse thieves as fast as they catch them. BURRIED In" A TRANCE. Tit® Suppose J Fate ot a West Vir ginia Bride of But Three Mouths. To the Savannah Times by Southern Telegraph. Wheeling, W. Va, June 25 —One of those ghastly stories of interment before life has become extinct, which cause an in voluntary shudder of horror to pass through the reader, is current in this city to-day. The victim, so the story goes, is a young married lady of 20 years. In May of last year, three months after her marrioge, the lady was taken violently ill, and after lingering for ten days, appa rently died. There were certain peculiari ties about the appearance of the supposed corpse, however, which caused a suspicion in the mind of the attending physician that his patient might he in a trance ; but after keeping the body for four days, with no signs of returning life, the remains were consigned to tlie grave, temporary inter ment being made in the family lot in au abandoned graveyard. A day or two ago the body was disin terred prior to removal to another cemetery. To the surprise of the sexton the coffin lid showed signs of displacement, and on its being removed the grave-digger was horri fied to find the remains turned face down ward, the hands filled with long tufts of hair tom from the head, and the face, neck and bosom deeply scratched and scarred, while the lining of the coffin had been torn into fragments in the desperate efforts of the entomed victim to escape from her ter rible fate. Since the discovery the young husband has been prostrated and his life is despared of. The names are withheld. Cholera at Pekin. To the Savannah Times by Southern Telegraph.

Atlanta, Ga., June 24. —I telegraphed you to-day a short paragraph about the wonderful invention, or rather discovery, made tiy lido Kamsdell of the Georgia craeker. This process does for engraving what the instantaneous process does for pho tographing aud makes Ramsdell rich in a day. Ramsdell is a genius, as ugly as a mud fence, but as bright ami as clever a fel low as walked the earth. He is a civil en gineer, a fiue machinist, an artist, a photo grapher, an engraver, a chemist, and tlie Lord oulv knows what he is not. I have seen him photograph perfectly a passenger trar. going .wentv-five miles an hour. He help* I survey the Georgia Pacific road, in vented “Red C” oil, and was paid one thousand dollars for the patent by a mag who has made $300,000 out of it since. He is a most singular combination of utter disregaru of personal appearance and—bed time. While I take advantage of a leisure moment after my nights work at 2a. m., I hear him thumping away with a litogruphic press showing some enthusiastic friends how his new presses work. I saw him in five minutes to-day make a litho graphic copy of a deed so perfectly that you could barely tell the original from the copy. He was in a bookstore to-night when the dealer picked up a handsome magazine engraving and said: “When you can make a picture like that you can talk.” “Will you give me fifteen minutes to go to my office aud bring you a litographed copy?’* asked Ramsdell. “Yes.” Ramsdell tore the picture out, went to his office and in ten minutes was back with a half dozen lithograph copies that really looked better than the original. In his office it took him just thirty-five seconds to transfer the picture to stone and get a copy. The press was then ready to print any num ber up to a million or so. I wa: amused at Ramsdell to day. We were on au Air Line train that got a hot box and the conductor was having the men put in a new brass. They had fumed and fussed around until everybody was worried out waiting, and Ramsdell ventured a sug gestion as to how the brass could be put in. The conductor flushed up and said snapping ly: “Every d—d countryman wants to tell me how to run my business.” Ramsdell subsided and waited an hour while the train men broke two brasses try ing to get them in. Then he told the en gineer exactly what he had at first sug gested aud it was tried and the brass slipped in like it was greased. The train started off and the snappish conductor was congratulating himself when some one said : “That country-looking fellow is lido Ra nsdell. He has been chief engineer of a bigger road than this. He was raised in railroading.” The couductor sought Ramsdell and beg ged hi r p trdoD. ’ Till POLITICAL POT.

Special Correspondence Savannah Daily Times. Macon, June 24.— This lias been a “dry” day in Macon, in spite of the rain that has fallen in torrents and with but little inter mission, dry—at least in a figurative sense. Carolina Holt dropped dead on the prem ises of Colonel Pulaski Holt to-day. She was one of his old servants, and was faithful in her humble sphere in life. Sallie Thompson, a Jones county negro, came to Macon this morning. Soon after her arrival in the city she began to cut up such capers as left no doubt of her being crazy. She was taken in charge by the police and lodged in the calaboose for safe keeping. A large crowd went up from Macon to the walking match to day. Some of them will doubtless be able to get back, if they do not lose their return tickets. There is more ex citement in Macon over the result than I would have supposed could be the case. Dispatches are sent down every half-hour, and the bulletin board of the Telegraph and Messenger is crowded by anxious spec tators. Some of them probably have money bet on the result, and this, in part, may ac count for it. If South Georgia should enter a candidate on the Gubernatorial track.that walking match would be worth seeing and writing about. Macon. SEARCHING FOR A FUGITIVE. A Night’s Trip Through Cooper Shop Lane. A county official aud an officer having occasion to hunt for Gus Fielding, a negro who was sentenced to ten years by Judge Adams for robbing the house of A. Minis, Esq., and who recently escaped from Lowe’s camp, accosted a Times reporter yesterday evening and bantered him to accompany them through Cooper Shop lane in quest of the fugitive. The defiance was accepted and the tour made. Cooper Shop Lane is a place notoriously known to the public. It is a place which in the daytime is a highway much to be dreaded, but at night it is absolutely repellant. It is devoted to crime even in the day-time, and at night is a region given to thj weaving ways of wassailers, the wiles of wantons and the tricks of theives. It is the resort of mur derers, robbers, jail birds and convicts, aud with them the precept “sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof’ bears a meaning that scriptural commentators could not consistently adopt. It is a place where filth and drunkenness, disease and death lurk and make life loathsome. Tlie \obscenity and profanity would make the strugglers and sutlers of the army in Han ders shudder. Cooper Shop laue is a short one, dimly lighted, hut crime stalks abroad there aud criminals of all grades are as thick peas in a pod. It is Gehenna intensi fied, a festering sore on the municipal body and justly called forth the plaintive cry of many poor people whose property was destroyed in the conflagration last Novem ber, “Why should our peaceful and happy homes be destroyed aud Cooper Shop lane be spared ?” Fielding was not found, though, aud one might as well search the catacombs almost as to attempt to find him there. WHITE WINGS AT ISLE OF HOPE. Results of Yesterday’s Regatta. Tlie second annual regatta of the Isle of ,1 Yacht Club, which took place yesterday at Isle of Hope, was an enjoyable and success ful event. The weather early in the morn ing was very threatening and apprehen d sious were felt that the pleasures of the e day would be marred, Reports from Mout i, gomery aud Isle of Hone were to the effect a that a strong gale was blowiug, and that the g yachts would have all the wind they i- wanted, and if Pluvius would keep the rain a gates closed there would he a good time a after all. With this hope a large party left [- ou the 12 m. train for the isle, aud after a i- quick rua reached that resort. The steamer i- Sylvan Glen had arrived and was moored some distance out in the stream, the low tide not permitting her to come up to the e wharf. The members of the club, their r guests and lady frieuds were transferred e from the wharf to the steamer on a large - fl?t, which had been brought down from the s city. f Lying at anchor were the yachts which t had entered for the race, and in a few min i utes after the party were landed safely on i the steamer, preparations were made for f THE START. Vice Commodore West, who was in com , mand, took position on the “quarter deck” ' where the movements of the yachts could be seen to advantage. The timers. A. G. L Guerard, Esq., Mons A L Desboullions and Major A.Bonaud, timers, were at their ' posts. The signal to start was given by , blowing the whistle and in a second the fleet were in motion, the gallant yachts had shook their sails and were skimming over the water before the spanking breeze. | Mons. Desbouillons with watch in hand i saDg out in Frenuh the time, as the yachts crossed the line, Major Bonaud promptly translated, and Capt Guerard recorded it. . This is the first race we believe that the time has ever been given in French, and is a plume in the cap of the Isle of Hope Yacht Club. It was novel, and the genial timers thus gave eclat to the occasion. The line was crossed in the follow ing order; Wave, Jennie S., Zinga May, in the first class ; Uncas and Tallulah in the second class; Vernon and Claude in the cabin yachts. The boats had just swept into ' the bend of the river and were gliding beau tifully along when a heavy black cloud opened its gates and a driving, blinding rain set in compeling those on the steamer, including the gallant officers of the quarter deck, “to seek the seclusion that the cabin grants.” The rain, however, did not last , long, and the day ended beautifully, cool, bracing and clear. The race down was watched with great interest, and the Jennie S. and Wave, which were close from the start, came in .or particular attention. Numerous bets were made on the result, and it was diffi cult to determine which would come in , winner. The Claude was excellently han dled and sailed well, her only competitor | being the Vernon, the Etta of this class not entering. The sight when the fleet entered | Warsaw Sound was really magnificent. All eyes were c oiered on the crafts as the buoy off Cabbage Island was neared. The Jen n:e S. was the first to round, then came the Claude and the Wave so close together that for a second it seemed a collision was im minent. The Claude rounded first but j swung out too far and the Wave secured the vantage. Next came the Vernon, then ’ the Zinga and May, ami the race home ’ was commenced. Tlie run between the ' JennieS. and Wave was exciting, both boats 1 being well handled. It was thought at one * time that just before rounding the Jennie 8. ran aground on Cabbage Island, but this i was d’seovered to he a mistake, the move i ment which occasioned the impression being the result of changing a sail. , On the return trip to the Isle the decks of the steamer were thronged with specta i tors, enjoying the beautiful sight of the i homeward bound yachts skimming along. ; Suddenly attention was directed to the Ver non, which was at once seen to be in some trouble, but the character of it could not be ascertained until the steamer reached her, when the Vernon’s crew signalled her to assistance. The steamer, in coming up along side, ran afoul the yacht, striking liar astern. A portion of tlie upper rail of the steamer was carried , away, and one of the fenders crushed. The Vernon was also slightly > damaged, her stern guard was driven in and her boom saddle was carried over. The collision occasioned momentary excitement on the steamer, but when it was ascertained the damage was slight, matters quieted i down. The Vernon was taken in tow and the steamer continued on her way, but the delay prevented her reaching the wharf in , time to witness the termination of the race. Mr. Martin Wylly was on duty, how i ever, and took the time, which is officially ; given as follows: CABIN YACHTS. Actual Official Name. Start. Finish. Time. Time. [ H.M S. H.M.S. H.M.S. H.M.B.

PROPOSED PROTECTIVE MOVE -31 ENT. Licensed Versus Unlicensed Vendors of 3larket Produce. A number of the Green Grocers, Producers, and Market Dealers’ Association, met last night, for the purpose of hearing the report of Messrs. J. F. Philips and J. S. Collins, who waited on Mr. J. J. Abrams, counsel for the association, relative to the drafting of an ordinance to be submitted to the City Council. The ordinance will pro vide for the abolishment of the system of unlicensed hawking now in vogue by the city, and will look to the protection of those who pay licenses and belong to the associa tion. The adoption of the report was the only business transacted, yet many topics of interest were broached and discussed. The association proposes to look after the sanitary interests of the city as far as it lies in its power. It will look after diseased meat and bad meat, and will prosecute those who attempt to impose on the public impure meats, as well as look after those who sell to butchers sickly or injured cattle. The Association numbers one hundred and fifty members who are banded together for self protection and mu tual interests. They claim that their busi ness is being taken away from them by il legitimate means; that unlicensed parties go haw king about the city and their trade has been diverted from its proper oourse by the way peddlers are allowed to sell goods on the streets without taking out a license. Tie/ claim that not only do the green grocers market men and producers lose money, but that the city loses $15,000 yearly from unoccupied stalls in the market." A well-informed member of the association stated to a Times reporter to day that out of seventy butcher stalls in the market only thirty are occupied, that the greater part of the fish stalls are vacant, and that' a corresponding vacancy is noticed in the vegetable stalls, lie says that out of a population "of 117,500 people in Savannah not five hundred visit the market and make purchases. Mr. Sandiford, green grocer on South 1 Broad street, who was present, said that there were four hundred unlicensed haw kers in Savannah, and that during his walk from i South Broad street to Charlton, where Mr. Tedder keeps on Habersham, he counted thirty-four hucksters. lie illustrated i the way these hucksters work. There were three wagon loads of cucumbers stolen $6 OO A YI« At I '■ ...At 3CO a' ~.....Ar 7 61 a from Major Ryal’s plantation, ....At 12 32 p that article yesterday sold for-— At 419 p for twenty-five cents, many huck ~ Ar *O6 p selling them for five cents alOS9a mentioned the same way about’“aL®£_P and other vegetables.

The association is determined on the course designated, and will wool energetical ly. The next meeting of toe association will he held Thursday, July .\j. DISAPPEARED. A Well-Known Diver to Have Been CoTried Oi t to sea. Tlie Times is informed that on last Sun day week, Mr. Jack Spates, a noted diver, who is well-known in marine circle "i this city, left Tybee in a small boat with some provisions and a gun for Fort Pulaski. The weather was very iuclement at the t ine, and a -® IS L-wind was blowing. Mr. Spates had no one with him, he has not since been seen or heard of, his friends are apprehensive that his frail craft became unmanageable, and during the night he was carried out to sea and lost. We are also in formed that two days since a batteaux, bot tom upwards, was pickeu up near the Sajielo Quarar tine Station. Whether this is the batteaux iu which Spates left Tybee, cannot be stated at present, hut the supposition of his friends is that it is the same. He was thoroughly experienced on the water and was considered one of the best divers iu the country, and it may be that he is safe, though his friends are not hopeful. Mr. Spates came here from Baltimore in which city his relativesraside. Theft amt Rashness.

The girl, whose name is Carolina Green, belongs to the notorious Green family, several of whom are serving sentences on the chain-gang.
