THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES. VOL. 6.—NO. 2. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. TORTURED BY MASKED MEN. An Old Farmer Burned and Beaten and Left for Dead in His House. Wheeling, W. Va., Dec. 26.—Follow ing directly upon the heels of the Sunday outrage by hooded burglars comes another exceeding it in horror if not in boldness Elijah Marling, a bachelor farmer, aged 65, occupies a solitary house on the Bethany pike, a r ew miles from here. He is very wealthy and is believed to have kept a large sum of money hoarded in the house, the isolated position of which makes it a tempting spot for highwaymen. About 1 o’clock Wednesday morning, while Mar ling was asleep, the outer door was burst from its hinges by a blow from a log used as a battering ram and three men sprang into the room. A revolver was dis charged at the same time for effect and as Marling awoke he was seized and held in bed while a stout rope was wound about him. A potato was forced into his mouth and tied there as a gag, after which he was permitted to arise. The three men, with a fourth who came in afterward, were com pletely disguised by the eye-hole hood of the well known West Virginia Bed Men and, from the description, were members of the gang which so horribly used up the Workanauer family on Sunday. When Marling was re l eased they search ed his person and found $lB2 in gold, which was deemed to be but a small part of the money he was known to possess. The house was ransacked from top to bottom, the hearth and flooring removed and the mattress rip ped open, but no money could be found. Marling said he had no more, but they refused to believe him and proceeded to torture him. His clothing was stripped off and a can of hot oil poured on his back, but amid his shrieks he still declared that he had no money. A poker was then heated and the old man burned in twenty different places, with each burn denying the exist ence of any money. After nearly three hours of the most inhuman torture the highwaymen gave up the job. One of them, in disgust, approach ed the nearly inanimate form of the old man, which was tivd up to the bed, and with an axe handle struck him a blow ever the head. Then leaving him insensible and firing the loose straw on the floor, they took their departure. The fire did not burn, for tunately, and at 10 o’clock in the morning neighbors happened in the house and found the nearly dead Marling hanging to the bed-post, bis body lined with burns, covered with blood from the wound on the bead and withal nearly frozen. Medical aid was pr< - cured, but his condition is terrible. The affair has created unbounded excitement here, and the city and coun y officials are at their wits’ end. The gang which perpetrated this outrage is believed to be a powerful and dangerous organiz it ion. MR. RANDALL Preparing for His Trip to tire South. Washington, Dec. 26.—Mr. Randall is busy in New York preparing for his trip South. His rooms are described as almost filled with books and documents relating to Southern industries. Mr. Randall’s ad dresses are all to be of a practical, non partisan character, having especial reference to the commercial problem, which the South now has before her to solve. Interest in his trip is widely awakened, and particu larly since the attack on him by the Courier- Journal was made. He is assured of a warm, even enthusiastic welcome wherever he goes, and in Louisville as elsewhere, the talk of shelving such a man, sometimes indulged in by flighty revenue reformers, is, of course, the merest twaddle. He is certain to remain, whether in the Cabinet or in the Speaker’s chair or in his honored place on the floor of the House, one of the foremost Democrats in the country. Hey, Burchard! A Meeting Between Blaine and Logan. Washington, Dec. 26. —A gentleman who claims to have seen Mr. Blaine and General Logan meet for the first time since the campaign described the scene yesterday. He said General Logan was stalking along the street alone, with his head hanging upon his breast in a serious and meditative mood a few days ago, when he heard a pair of horses and carriage dashing along in the street behind him. Turning, he saw an open vehicle, and in it the Plumed Knight. “ Hey, Burchard,” exclaimed General Logan Instantly Mr. Blaine recognized the voice of his gallant political companion, and, look ing around, saw Gen. Logan. He bid his driver haul alongside, when the two clasped hands and for a few minutes engaged in a very animated and cordial conversation. COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED With 53,000 Fraudulent Money on His ; Person. Memphis, Dec. 26.—Henry Oglesby, a counterfeiter, with many aliases, was ar rested here by a government detective yes terday with $3,000 in counterfeit notes of the Third National Bank of Cincinnati on his person. He has been sought after for a longtime, and has killed two men in re sisting arrest.

I The Brutal Murder of a Woman by a Drunken Man. Orangeburg, Dec. 26.—Minnie Weeks, , a young white woman employed at Cornel son’s Factory, was seriously shot here last night by Major Henderson, a white man, who is also engaged at the factory. The shooting took place at a dance given by another employe of the factory, and seems to have been without any provoca tion whatever. The information is that during the evening some disturbance arose, and Minnie Weeks, who had been in an ad- i joining room, entered the hall where the dance was in progress, and attempted by persuasion to quell the disturbance. M.jor Henderson approached her, and taking bold of her with one hand deliberately drew his I pistol with the other and fired upon her, j the ball entering below the stomach and passing into the liver. The condition of the unfortunate woman at this hour is very , critical, and little or no hope of her recov . ery is entertained. She came to this place , from Sumter. Henderson has escaped ar est so far. He is from Greenville, and is said , to have been under the influence of liquor at the time of the shooting. SENATOR OAKLAND. Believed He Has Been Offered a Cabinet Position. Washington, Dec. 26.—1 tis related in the Evening Star that Senator Garland left i the Senate after a short time spent in the i chamber on Saturday, and, it now appears, I made a visit to Albany to see Governor | i Cleveland. The Senator has not yet re- : turned, or, at least, he did not appear at the ii Capitol to-day, though he was in New York j: city yesterday. He saw Governor Cleve- i land on Saturday, and the report is that he | I was formally tendered the position of Attor i ney General in the next Cabinet. The : Albany special to the New Nork World j, denies this, and it is the general belief j ( among Democratic Senators that it is so, and j' most of them now think that Senator Bayard | has also been invited to a seat in the Cabinet. | The expression of Democratic sentiment ’ throughout the country has been almost 1, unanimous in favor of Mr Garland for the I office of Attorney General. MR. RANDALL’S MOVEMENTS. He Will Discuss Protection in the South. Washington, Dec. 26.—Mr. Randal will leave this city on Saturday next at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. He will arrive at Louisville on Sunday and remain there until Monday night, when he will go to Nashville. He will remain in Nashville until January 2d, and then go to Birming ham, Alabama. He will also go to Chatta nooga, and from there return to Washington in time for the opening of the session on the sth of January. It is understood he will make speeches in the four cities which he proposes to visit. The tariff is to be the principal subject of his discourses. WEIRD DEATH-BED SCENE. A Prominent Anatomist Delivers a Lec ture While Dying. New York, Dec. 26—Dr. William Dar ling, well known in this country and abroad as authority on anatomy, died early yester day morning at his residence in this city.

Y., Dec. 26—A large Oil 1 tank belonging to the United Pipe Line, 5 j miles west of this city, exploded this morn- | ing with a deafening report.

WRECK CF A FRENCH BRIG. Three of the Crew Drowned —One Com mits Suicide—The Captain and One Sailor the Only Survivors. Halifax, N. S, Dec. 26.—The French brig A. S. 11, from St. Pierre Meguelon for B< ston, with fish, was wrecked on Sable Island in the gale of the 19th. The ther mometer was below zero, and the crew suffered terribly. Three were drowned at once, and the steward cut his throat and jumped overboard. Capt. Lemarchand, the mate and one sailor managed to get ashore by the aid of a floating spar. They landed three miles from the lighthouse and started to walk toward it on the sand bar. The Captain soon succumbed to the terrible cold, and laid down and died. The sailor man aged to accompany the mate somewhat further, when he too, perished. The mate a powerfully built man, reached the light house after six hours of indescribable suf fering from cold.

I heard a story about the much abuse 1 Rutherford B. Hayes the other day which ought to please his many admirers. A drummer recently visited Fremont and dur ing his stay in town went, to the village cemetery. Entering, he saw the village sexton engaged in digging a grave. Walking up to him, he asked : “Where is Hayes buried?” “What Hayes?” “Why, Rutherford B. Hayes.” “But he is not buried. He is—” Here the drummer broke in with “Great Scott, are they keeping him yet ?” A Smash Predicted. Richmond State. A Western crank is trying to attain some notoriety by predicting a general smash up of sublunary affairs on January 4. He has evidently made a miscalculation in the date. Had he said the 4th of March the people would have understood and appre ciated him better, for at that time all po litical clerks in the departments will be smashed. Just Like an Arab.

That is what you do when you come home late from the lodge.” THE HARNETT HOUSE, SAVANNAH, Visitors to Savannah, Ga., will find the Harnett House a comfortable and desirable stopping place, where the cha-ges are mod erate, while the uniform excellence of the table is a subject of general remark-.-Chi cago National Hotel Reporter.

But don’t criticise the orthogra ' phy, please. Fact is, Mrs. Fogg was a school teacher for a good many years, and therefore she never learned to spell. It wasn’t necessary, you know. She always had the spelling book when she was hear ing her class.

But it was just as true and just ' as palpable when Blaine began the suit as . it is now. He propably knew it then as 1 well as he knows it now. If he did not, he was conspicuously lacking in that political sagacity which saved Governor Cleveland from the ridicule and humiliation of a sim ilar blunder. An A’gument to be Used. Bradstreet’s.

S. JUDGESHIP AND THE SAVANNAH POST OFFICE A Talk with Colonel James Atkins in Re gard to the Vaca.icy Created by Judge Erskine’s Resignation —Judge McCay % Position Discussed. A Times reporter called at the office of Colonel James Atkins this morning and found that gentleman busy with the duties of his office, much of which had accumulated during his absence in Washington city. In a short talk which ensued, the reporter was informed that Colonel Atkins had gone to the national capital on business foreign to public office seeking either for his friends or himself. Said he: “I met Postmaster General Hatton here in Savannah, when he passed through the city, and the affair of the Postmastership ai this place was settled so far as that gentle man was concerned, before he left, as Wil son’s claims had been presented and the position promised him, so far as the influence of Hatton extended, as head of his de partment. Os course the President has the nomination of all candidates, but it is pre sumed, and with good reason, that Hatton’s recommendation will have sufficient force to carry the appointment. This being the case, Col. Wilson will be the next postmas ter at this place.” Regarding the Judgeship made vacant by the resignation of Judge Erskine, of At lanta, Col. Atkins said that it might be expected that this matter would be settled about the 7th or Bth of January. Col. C. P. Goodyear, of Bruns wick, Judge John D. Cunningham, H. P. Farrow, of Atlanta, and quite a number of others are aspirants for the place, but, said Colonel Atkins, it was noticed that Farrow, who up to a week ago had seemingly the best chance at the place, had lost his hold on the President and his chances wen considered very meager in political circles Although Colonel Atkins did not say so, the indications point toward Charles P. Good year, as the next Federal Judge of the Southern District of Georgia. In the matter of the Federal judgeship: of Georgia it is a noticeable fact that for some time past it has been necessary to get judges from other States to hold court. Now the case is worse than ever since the in sanity of Judge H. K. McCay has become an established fact. Speaking of the in sanity of this gentleman the reporter men tioned that there had been some talk of hi being an applicant for the vacancy created by Judge McCay’s dementia. “But,’ said Col. Atkins “I am not an applicant for this vacancy—if vacancy it can be called. Judge McCay is still judge, and canno resign in bis present mental condition, for he cannot legally sign a resignation, nci can he be impeached. Should he be guilt of crime while insane, an assistant might be appointed to discharge the duties of his office until his time expires as has bee-■ done on a former occasion when a United Sates Judge became insane, o- Congress might retire him on the pay of a retired Judge, as is done after he has server tin years, and reached the age of seveni ■ y ?ars. But in this case the present Congress would not have this duty to perform as it would be deferred until after the 4,h cl M rch in order to put in a Democratic in cumbent.” “ Well, then, you do net think that Presi dsnt Arthur will have the appointment of a successor to Judge McCay ? ” “ Decidedly not. McCay is still Judge, and his brother, Prof. Charles McCay, who is with him would be foolish to allow him to sign a resignation which would deprive him of ample means of support. Besides it is ques tionable if such resignation would be ac cepted at headquarters. But I wish to state with great distinctness that I am emphati cally not an aspirant for that position—a position which could only be made vacan by the death of Judge McCay_ before th< 4th of March. I am not waiting to step into dead men’s shoes. If it is made vacant by Congress after the 4th o* March the vacancy will of course be filled by a Democrat, and I would not by any means be a clamorous applicant for the place.” The Colonel was asked if he could give any other dots about things in Washington, but answered negatively, whereupon the reporter took up his hat and note book, and, wishing him a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, departed. CHRISTMAS 1884. How the Day Was Celebrated—A Quiet and Pleasant Holiday. Christmas was celebrated throughout the city in a very quiet manner. The first step taken was the celebration of solemn Ponti ficial High Mass at the Catholic Cathedral, commencing at 12 o’clock in the morning. Bishop Gross officiated, and was assisted by a large number of acolytes. The altar w: s beautifully bedecked with floral ornaments and 900 wax tapers, making the large and beautiful auditorium of the Cathedral sparkle .and scintillate as though lighted with myriads of diamonds. Long before the hour for the services to begin the audience had assembled. The quartette was supported by a chorus of twenty care fully selected voices. Professor Mehrtens performed on the organ, and produced the sweetest strains of harmony. The Mozart Mass was chanted with fine effect. The offertory “adeste fideles,” Novello’s arrange ment was produced by the choir in excellent manner. The services continued until 2 o’clcck, when the audience was dismissed. Early in the wee hours of the morning, the small boys of the city were out break into the slumbers of the older ones with sound of drum, tin horn, kazoo, fife, fire crackers, and all other unearthly noises Merrily they ran about the streets congratu lating each other, showing what they had received in their stockings from good old Santa Claus, and wishing all they met a “merry Christmas.” Later the older heads began to show themselves cn the streets and exchange the $6 00 A YE4R. compliments of the season. The day was spent very quietly, there being few inebri ated persons seen on the streets, those who did indulge, doing so in moderation. Ev erbody seemed to have been invited out to dine with a friend, and many a fine tur key met his death to supph good cheer to the happy family and invited guests who assembled to make merry over his untimely end. All the hotels of the city made elabo rate spreads and seemed to vie with each other as to which should have the credit of doing the honors most handsomely. And the orphan asylums and homes were not by any means forgotten at dinner time, as was attested by the amount of wholesome viands spread before the little ones who had cause thus to remember the anniversary of the birth ofChrist.The usual number of fights and rows incident to the day occurred,but only resulted in a few black eves and bruises, ex cept those noted elsewhere. The police were kept quite busy “pulling” in the un j ruly citizens, who would not be quiet and orderly on the streets, and succeeded in capturing just 46 on charges of drunk, dis orderly fighting, resisting officers, letting off fireworks in the streets, etc. No casualties of a serious nature were reported at police headquarters. At the Police Court quite a number were treated leniently by His Honor the Mayor, and told to “go and sin no more.” To-day everything is again quiet, the people have celebrated and the majority of the business men hav all returned to their daily avocations with a determination to renew their efforts in, the direction of right during the coming year of 1885. CLARA MORRIS. A Short Chat With the Actress. Miss Clara Morris, the great emotional actress, accompanied by her husband, Mr. F. C. Harriott, have been in the city since Wednesday. This morning a Times re porter was granted a short interview with her. In answer to a question at to her health, Miss Morris shrugged her shoulders and smiled as she remarked, “You know what I consider good health as compared with most people. I cannot say that I have the article at all. but I have been well enough to do my work without fail and I expect to continue so. I am satisfied at that. The Southern tour during the winter did me good last year, and I expect to be benefited this time.” “You are playing ‘Article 47’ and ‘Miss Multon’ almost entirely this season, are you not?” “Yes, I may say entirely, but it is not my fault. The managers wart them; they will hnve them and I must submit to their de mands. The truth is they are admirably suited for alternating. Cora is the fury and represents expression to its fullest extent, while Miss Multon is a woman who has her feelings constantly under lock and key until they boil over. She is the personification of repression. The two characters are ad mirable contrasts and seem to be all the managers care to have, so I play them. I tl ought I had done with both of them, as ‘Article 47’ was laid aside for several years, and so was ‘V- i.-s Multon,’ but I bed to come back to them.” Miss Morris has not suffered from the de pression which has weighed so heavily upon others and she ’ays it to the fact that the women will see her to satisfy their morbid longing to see some one else in pain and suf fering, and they, of course, compel the atten dance of the m»n. There is a certain amount of morbidity in every woman which will be satisfied, and the taste grows stronger every time it is fed. —» » Home Items and Topics. —“All your own fault.
