Stwmnial) JDailg ®ime& VOL. 6.—NO. 27. THE LATE EXPLOSION. EXCITEMENT BTILL AT FEVER HEAT. Opinion of the London Telegraph—Condi tion of the Injured Policemen—Ar raignment of the Suspected Dyna miters—Senator Bayard’s Reso lution Unanimously Passed— 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. BOUGH on pain.

A Lively Experrlence With Foot-Pads— Large Number of Cases on the Crim inal Docket—Speer’s Nomination— The Mineral Wealth of Georgia. 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 , the mountains. The Southern Farmer has been closed ' out by the sheriff. It was a small concern, s its outfit amounting in value to only i about S4OO. ’ FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. This Morning’s Proceedings. Washington, January 26 —ln the Sen ator-elect Jonathan Chase, of R. 1., was sworn in and took his seat. The credentials of J. Donald Cameron, elected c enator from Pennsylvania to succeed himself, were pre sented. A memorial was received from the Kansas Legislature protesting against cattle trains through that State. Mr. Plumb, from the Committee on Pub lic Lands, reported by substitute, a house bill forfeiting a part of certain lands granted to the State of lowa to aid in the construc tion of the Sioux City and St. Paul Railroad, and asked its immediate consideration. Mr. Harris objected, and the bill went on the calendar. Senator Bayard’s resolution, offered Sat urday, in regard to the London explosion, was brought up, and Mr. Bayard addressed the Senate in a lengthy speech. “Mr. Riddleberger followed Bayard, and opposed the passage of the resolution. He said while the United States was experi menting as to the methods of blowing ships one of water with dynamite, it did not become them to say the people, who had not right to issie a proclamation of war should not use the same instrument. The resolu tion then passed by a vote of 61 yeas to 1 nay—Riddl eberger. MEXICAN MURDERERS A Posse in Pursuit of Thein, San Angetia, Jan. 36—Last Saturday night on the sheep ranch of Fitz Karger, fifti on miles north of here, two Mexicans entered a tent, stabbed and killed Henry Metzger, and seriously wounded Elmere Tremble, Fred Smith and another man. The murderers, named Manuce and Dalsio, were 1 employed herding on a neighboring ranche belonging to Karger. They entered the tent while the men were -leeping. A posse is pursuing the Mexicans. No cause for the attack is known. The wounded men will I die. What New Yurx Priests Think of the Outrages. New York, Jan. 26—A reporter called upon the pastors of several of the Roman Catholic Churches of this city yesterday to obtain their views of the dynamite out rages in Loudon. Many of them were free in the expression of their opinions, which were similar in the hearty denunciation of the acts as an idiotic outburst of fanatics, who imagined that patriotism gave crimes of the most cowardly sort.

Palpitation, Dropsical Swellings, Dizzi ness, Indigestion, Headache, Sleeple ssnesr cured by “Wells’ Health Renewer.” SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1885. NEW ORLEAN’S FAIR. ITS SUCCESS NO LONGER DOUBT FUL. The Grounds Beautiful in Verdure and Flowers and the Main Ruilding Pre 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.

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.

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. , The Visiting Knights and Their Ladles.

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 r « * 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. “ROUGH ON RATS.” Clears out rats, mice, roaches, flies, anta oed-bugs, skunks, chipmunks, gophers. 1,5 c Druggists.
