miters—Senator Bayard’s Reso

Roman Catholic Priests
Denounce the Outrage.
London, Jan. 26. —The Telegraph’s edi
torial on the dynamite outrages says that
the government cannot expect the United
States to suppress Rossa and his gang while
it is itself afraid to handle Parnell.
Constables Cox and Cole, who were in
jured in the explosions, and who were yes
terday reported as greatly improved, are
this morning in a precarious condition, and
there is little nope for their recovery. The
anonymous document furnished to the press
yesterday, which gives the government’s
plan of further operations contemplated by
the dynamiters, and furnishes descriptions
of several of the leading members of the
dynamite party, is believed by the police
authorities to be a very important paper.
Among the structures which it says are
threatened are St. Paul’s Cathedral and the
Daily Telegraph building.
Another man was arrested this morning,
and he and the prisoner Cunningham, who
was arrested Saturday, will be charged at
the Bow street police station to-day. The
people are nervous and excited. News of
any new development is awaited with the
greatest anxiety. A great crowd gathered
at the Thames Police Court this morning,
expecting that it was there that Cunning
ham would be charged. Upon the an
nouncement that Bow street would be the
place of arraignment, the people made a
rush in that direction, and the streets in the
vicinity of the station were jammed long
before the hour set for the bringing in of the
prisoners.
PLOTTING PARTISANS.
Preparing to Embarrass Mr. Cleveland —
A Righteous Decision.
Washington, Jan. 26—Within the past
week or two a large number of resignations
of Postmasters have been received at the
Post Office Department, accompanied in
nearly every instance with recommenda
tions in favor of the appointment of some
person named. The number of these at
first occasioned surprise to the Post Office
officials, but when Senators and members
began to call personally to urge the accep
tance of the resignations and the appoint
> ment of the persons recommended, the fact
became apparent that there was a system
atic movement on the part of the post
masters to resign and secure the appoint
ment of a successor friendly to themselves
before Cleveland assumed the duties of the
Presidency. By this plan the new post
master would secure a commission for four
years, and forestall any action on the part
of President Cleveland.
The Postmater General decided this was
not fair dealing toward the next adminis
tration, and directed that no more resigna -
tions, where it was evident they were ten
dered with the sole object of securing the
appointment of another person before the
new administration came into power, should
be accepted. In all, several hundred of
suchfresignations have been received from
all parts of the country, and nearly every
mail adds to the list.
TO AVOID COLLISIONS.
A Bill Which Provides lor Improved Sig
nal Lights on Sailing Vessels.
Washington, Jan. 26—Commissioner
Jarvis, of the Bureau of Navigation of the
Treasury Department, in response to a letter
of inquiry from the Senale Committee on
Commerce, has recommended the passage
of a bill introduced by Senator Bayard to
adopt improved signal side lights for sail
vessels under way in the inland and lake
waters. The bill provides that the sig
nal lights shall be double, and so
arranged by out board screens as to pre
vent both from being seen except whju the
assumes a certain course from the
observer. By this arrangement it is believ-d
a vessel’s course can be always known, and
collisions the more easily be avoided. Cun
missioner Patten says that this subject of ar
ranging a vessel’s signal lighis for purposes
of safety from collisionsis now engaging the
attention of all maritime nations. He
thinks that the bill should be passed, but :
before introducing the arrangement upon
the Northern lakes the co-operation of the
Canadian government would be necessary.
If once used upon sailing vessels, and found
j to be successful, it is probable that steam
i vessels will be required to carry them.
I HORRIBLE AND BLOODY MURDER.
The Murderer to be Lynched if Caught.
San Antonio, Tex , Jan 26. —A dispatch
has just been received here from Boerne, in
Uvalde County, announcing that a most
horrible and bloody murder occurred in
Cedar Brook, twelve miles from that place,
on Saturday afternoon. A trifling dispute
between G. T. Humble and another man,
whose name is unknown here, resulted in
the murder of the former with an axe. His
head was split open. The Sheriff and citi
zens are in pursuit of the murderer and
have good prospects of capturing him. He
will probably be lynched. Great excite
ment has been caused by the bloody affair.

Special Dispatch to Savannah Dally Times.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 25. —Last night a
young man named Dheil had a lively ex
perience with foot-pads. As he was going
in at his gate at his residence he was set
upon by several men who knocked him
down and beat him, presumably with an in.
tention of robbing him. He was also stab
bed by one of the assailants, but not serious
ly. He managed to get into his house and
so was much prostrated by the nervous shock
that the attending physicians fe<r he will
not recover. He has not been able to speak
since the occurrence.
An effort is being made here to have a
special session of the Superior Court to try
bond cases. As it is there are a large num
ber of criminals in the county under bond,
with very little prospect of ever being
brought to justice. In glancing over the
long list of untried murderers, the Times
correspondent saw the name of a man who
was indicted in 1879. There were several
indicted for murder in 1881-2. The list
of crimes embraces rapes, assaults
with intent to murder and various other
offenses. In looking over the list the im
pression is created that no matter what
offense a man is guilty of, if he can give
bond he can defy the law.
J. C. Jenkins, who was Assistant United
States Attorney under Emory Speer, has
sent to the committee in Washington an
affidavit to the effect that Speer smuggled
matters through the jury room that resulted
in the conviction of the alleged Banks
county kuxlux, when they had really vio
lated no Federal law. The whole thing
was given a political turn to which it was
not entitled. One of the “kuklux” died not
long ago in Albany. Colonel Farrow is
working very hard to defeat Speer’s con
firmation. Speer is still in Washington.
Judge Been, an intelligent miner from
New Mexico, and other; mining sections, is
in Atlanta, having just completed a year’s
ramble in the gold belt of Georgia, where
he has been prospecting. He is impressed
with the wonderful mineral wealth of the
State, and says Georgia is as inviting to
, miners to-day as California was at its
. height there. He looks for a tide to turn
this way. His trip was made with acompan
! ion, who was an experienced miner, a dog,
i gnu, blankets, pick, etc, and he collected
■ specimens from the undeveloped wilds of

were similar in the hearty denunciation of
the acts as an idiotic outburst of fanatics,

FUL.

senting a Grand Spectacle —An Ex
position Which Appeals to the
Patriotism of the Whole ,
Country.
Col. McClure in Philadelphia Times.
The people of the North should at once
dismiss all apprehensions about the failure
of the New Orleans Exposition. It has had
many grave obstacles to overcome, including
untimely opening, financial embarrassment,
exceptionally bad weather and the distrust
which such unfortunate circumstances must
create. But I speak advisedly, after full con
ference with those most responsibly charged
with the financial direction of the great en
terprise, and with full knowledge of the
plans and policy of the future, when I say
that the failure of the Exposition is not to
be feared. Distrust as to its success and
immeasurable usefulness to the whole
country should be promptly dis
missed, and the generous operation of
the North speedily inspired. There is
yet ample time for exhibits to be forwarded
from every part of the country, and they can
now be sent with less delay in transit and
in arrangement than heretofore It will
be fully two and probably three weeks before
the general tide of visitors will begin, and
there is yet abundant opportunity for new
exhibits to gain the full benefits of the three
months of successful exhibition that are in
store for the enterprise.
Pennsylvania is far behind the new West
ern States in her exhibits, and her people
are as unjust to themselves individually as
they are unjust to their peerless Common
wealth by their failure to present an exhibit
worthy of our boundless resources. If our
business men of the North could see the
superb exhibits of Mexico and of the Cen
tral and South American States, with which
we expect largely increased business and
commerce, they would be quickened to quad
ruple the presentation of their handiwork
and natural wealth and follow them
with tens of thousands of visitors. The
best possible arrangements are perfected
here for the accommodation of visitors with
out extortion. No increase of prices has
been made at the hotels, and all boarding
houses are registered at the Central Exposi
tion Headquarters in the city, with prices,
location and all details to enable visitors
to find quarters without delay.
The streets are yet bad because ot the ex
cessive rain», but a few weeks will end the
last vestige of Southern winter and make
the Exposition grounds surpassingly beauti
ful in verdure and flowers, while within the
Main Building will be presented in one
view from the gallery the grandest specta
cle ever witnessed in any country. To
see over 30 acres in one enclosure, with gal
leries and floor studdied with every va
riety of exhibits from every land and clime
is what has never been possible
at any exposition of the past,
and around this colossal structure
are the Government Buildings, in which
the Government and the Stale exhibits are
presented, the Mexican Building, the special
building necessitate by the finestdisplay of
horses and cattle ever exhibited on the
continent, and others of less note.
Such an exposition, the first international
enterprise of the New South, appeals with
equal force to the interest and the patriot
ism of the North, and there should be
prompt and generous co operation to realize
its common blessings.

DEPOSED BY A BABY.
Two Jealous Little Boys Try to Drown
Their Infant Slater.
Philadelphia Times, 25th.
A bare-headed woman, with a scared
face, ran up Kensington avenue, on the city
side of Harrowgate, yesterday afternoon
She was followed by a stout policeman and
a train of citizens. At Clearfield street the
woman stopped, and, pointing to two Itttle
boys carrying a market basket on the ice
that covered a pond just below the Franklin
Cemetery, screamed :
“Oh, stop them, somebody I They’ll
drown it, I know they will.”
The boys were Harry and Willie Wain
wright, eight and six years old, and the
frightened woman was their mother. When
the boys saw the fat policeman dash gal
lantly toward them over one corner of the
pond they dropped the basket and fled. The
officer’s weight broke the ice, bat he floun
. dered on up to his knees in water. The po
liceman picked up the basket, raised the
cover and after peering in yelled to the
woman, “She’s all right!” When he reached
i Mrs. Wainright she lifted a plump baby girl
out of the basket and nearly suffocated it
with kisses.
The boys are brothers of the baby, and
■ they had become so jealous at the attentions
she received that they coolly resolved to
drown her in a bsket, as they had once seen
their father dispose of kittens. Mrs. Wain
wright went to a store yesterday and during
her absence the boys popped their objection
able sister into the basket, covered it and
started for the pond. The mother returned
and found the cradle empty and surmising
the truth, gave chase and saved her baby.
Important to Mariners.
The Baltimore American of Saturday,
published the following paragraphs, which
will be of interest to the masters of vessels
plying between this port and Baltimore: An
order has been issued by the Lighthouse
Board to move the Lazaretto light from its
, present location out to the Port Warden’s
| line, at Canton. The cause of the removal is
| that the Maryland Fertiling works have|shut
I the light out to mariners before the proper
| time of turning in, going down the Brewer
, i ton Channel. When the Hawkins
. j Point and Leading Point lights are
one, it is the range for running
. | down the Brewerton Channel, and the
■ I Lazaretto light should remain in sight until
, I the point to turn is reached. But at pres
’ ent the Lazaretto is not seen until after
turning in, coming up. The characteristic
, of the light—fixed red—will not be changed
wben it is moved about 78 feet out, and it I
. is thought it will then remain in sight until :
, arriving at the point to turn in. Foley’s j
> wharf now extends beyond the port ward
. en’s line; and, if buildings should be erected
i upon it iu its present po-ition, the light
> will have to be m >ved again, and probably
. to Fort McHenry.
, A second-class red c>n buoy will be
. placed at the north end of Old Plantation
. Flats, in fifteen feet of water, with Cherry
stone light bearing N.N.E., and Old Planta
, lion Creek bearing E. }N. The New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad has ap
i plied to have the channel buoyed out on Old
Plantation Flats, and it will shortly be done
. by Commander Casey.

SPECULATION DUBING THE PA'T
WEEK.
The Market Rather Tottering—Decided
Change in Either Direction—Specula
tors Find it Difficult to Make up
Their Minds—Opinions of Y'ari
ous Big Operators.
Special Correspondence Dally Times.
Chicago, January 23.—The markets on
change the past week have at times looked
rather tottering, but although the feeling is
feverish prices show no decided change in
either direction. Big speculators are prac
tically out of the pits, some waiting for a
break to buy and others hoping for a good
sized bulge on which to put out their lines.
This has left the deal largely in the hands
of scalpers and outsiders. The former work
from the bear side while the latter are gen
erally bearish.
Wheat opened easier under the influence
of the previous week’s failures and the wide
spread belief that the business situation of
the country was fast growing worse instead
of better. Then the market was steadied up
by war news from abroad only to be again de
pressed by the increase in the vfsible supply
which though small was very discouraging
to holders who in view of cold weather and
snow blockades, had confidently figured on
a big decrease. Hence there was a good deal
of selling by “short-horned” bulls and a
few big parcels were let go for a quick turn.
The sag, however, did not amount to over a
cent, all offerings being freely taken and
another hard spot was caused by reports
from the northwest that a very small pro
portion of the crop there remained in farm
ers hands, about this time was a cut in eastern
freight rates and some large export pur
chases were made. Some enterprising bul',
too, starter! a rumor that Young & Co, were
heavily “long” and pioposed a little squeeze
Nolody placed any faith in the story, but
it answered its purpose in driving the crowd
to cover. Since then the feeling has been
ntrvi us anl neither side appears to have
confidence enough in its position to stand
< n trades over 24 hours, while the majority
change their opinions half a dozen times a
day, accepting very small profits or hasten
ing to even up at a fractional loss.
“Big operators,” said Bliss, “made their
winnings on the boom of two weeks ago. The
crowd have the market, and as they unload
upon each other, it will gradually settle back
until again taken in hand by strongmen.”
Everingham, on the other hand, say s: “I
believe all surprises this year will be as
I much on the bull side as they were last year
I on the bear. Even $1 25 for May would not
surprise me at all. Other markets are
stronger and relatively higher than ours, es
pecially in low grade wheat, which is want
ed for the millers. This year for the first
time outside ‘lambs’ refuse to be scared and
buy freely on a decline. They are rapidly
learning to follow the example of proses
sionals, and may yet beat them at their own
game.”
A. M. Wright also looks for a higher
range.
Milwine is as bearish as he was bullish a
short time ago.
Bacon is a bull and says that if the small
stock of flour be considerad, present supplies
will foot up little, if any larger than a year
ago.
Corn is still firm, with but little doing,
all interest being centered in wheat. Re
ceipts are improving somewhat, but the
shipping demand absorbs them all, and the
position of the market is regarded as
healthy.
Provisions, too, have been without cl ange
of consequence, offerings being moderate
and the demand in proportion. Many think
that with a return of moderate weather
receipts of hogs will increase and prices of
all products decline, but others say that
although the market is quiet now the big
purchases of Baxter, a few weeks ago,
placed Armour in control.
At the yards this week business in
live animals has been sadly interfered with
by the freezing weather.
“The American Countess.’’
The announcement that the new play to
be known as “The American Countess,’’
written by Howard Carroll for Mlle. Rhea>
has for its subject the trials of an American
girl who marries a foreign nobleman, so
called, gives rise to anumber of interesting
speculations. It is certainly remarkable that
so good a subject for a dramatic work should
so long have been within reach of American
playwrights, yet so long neglected. Hardly
a month passes that we are not informed
with much blowing of trumpets of the mar
riage of’ some American heiress to the
needy wearer of a foreign coronet, and the
announcements of the unhappy results of
such ill-assorted unions are scarcely less fre
quent. Already in more than oie instance
such marriages have ended in scandals lhat
have given work for the courts; yet a certain
class of American girls, the most pi eminent
representatives of which are, perhaps to be
found in Washington, seem to regard it as
the highest object of ambition to sell them
selves to some titled attache of a European
legation. The secret life of a woman so mar
ried and settled far from the land of her
birth in a strange country amid a set of
poor, proud, and empty-headed aristocrats,
who may tolerate her for the sake of her
money, but who can neither understand nor
love her, the schemes of the
managing mama before the marriage, the
real motives and nature of the Count, Baron
or Marquis, and ultimately the misery of the
victim of her own foolish ambition —such
material should be more than sufficient to
construct one of the best plays yet written
by an American author. Mr. Carroll is to
be congratulated that, with the keen in
stincts of a trained journalist, he has seen
and made use, doubtless good use, of his op
portunity. Certainly, if the play is as good
as the subject it cannot fail of great and last
ing success.—New York Times.
Mlle. Rhea will appear at the Theatre
Wednesday and Thursday, January 28th and
29th, in two new plays. Wednesday, “The
American Countess Thursday, “Arcadia.”
S6OO A YEAR
PROGRESSIVE EUCHRE.
A New Game Becoming Popular in
f Savannah.
Progressive Euchre is the name of a new
J game of cards which is becoming very pop
ular in Savannah among the young people.
It i’ thus described :
Progressive euchre takes twelve per
sons. There are three tables, each supplied
with cards. One is called the ace, one the
king and one the queen table. Take the
1 aces, kings and queens from one of the packs,
1 and after they have been shuffled, let each
8 person draw one, the ones drawing kings
to the kings table, and those
1 queens to the queen table—
' the persons drawing black cards being
i partners and those drawing reds partners.
Wben this has been* done the playing com
mences; regular euchre is played. No games
count save those at the ace table, and each
’ player’s record at the table is kept by the
: scorer.
When a game has been finished at the ace
table the parties who are defeated go to the
queen table and those who have made the
most points at the king table take their
places and try to defeat their victors, while
1 the parties who have the most points at the
queen tab'e take the places of the persons
' who left the king table for the ace table. At
the king and queen tables they do not stop
playing because they have finished a game,
! but keep right on until the game has been
finished at the ace table; nor on the other
hand, if a game has been concluded a
the ace table and the king or queen table
have not finished their game, they do not try
to finish it. The ones making the most points
are the victors, whether less or more than
five - the| regular number for an ordinary
1 game—has been made. It is usual to give
some present or favor to the person winning
the most games at the ace table, and also
1 to the ones getting the fewest.

Novelty and Burlesque To-morrow Night
To morrow evening the Rentz Santley
1 Novelty and Burlesque Company appear at
I the Savannah Theatre. The Chicago
. T Imes says:
The new Rentz-Santley Novelty and Bur
lesque Company began an engagement at the
Howard last evening and the house was
crowded. A novel first part opened the en
tertainment, in which Mlle. Rudolphi sang
selections from Italian opera and played a
, solo upon the yiolin ; Charles and Annie
Whitting sang duets, and Billy Buckley
played the banjo and gave a number of
clever parodies. In the second part Messrs.
Manchester and Jennings, Mr. John Willis
‘ and Miss May Adams, Messrs. Andy and
Annie Hughes and Miss Lottie Bordeaux
appeared in specialties and were well re
ceived. The performance concluded with
' the burlesque, “Orpheus and Eurydice,”
1 which introduced sixteen young women and
six men, the costumes «ere handsome, and
1 the specialties introduced were unusually
good and in almost every case were encored

New Channels for Profitable Business.
The remarkable developments in electricity
’ within a comparatively recent period, has
' opened up many new avenues of profit and
r comfort. One of the latest phases In this line
. has been adapted to practical and popular
use by Frederick Lowey, the enterprising
' electrical manufacturer of 96 aud 98 Fultou
’ street, New York, whereby he brings a com
> plete model incandescent Electric Lamp
within the reach of all, and also produces a
' superior Plating Battery with instructions
> for operating by amatuers, which will secure
i a handsome business income on very slight
investment. For family or experimental
purposes alone, or as a practical, scientific
and business educator to the young, these
articles are worth several times their cost,
outside of any profit that can be made, and
the manufacturer is certainly entitled to
much credit for placingthem within popular'
reach.
