LILI IN MADISON’S SATCHEL.
What are Supposed to be its Charr d Con
tents Found in a Bri rwo ds Thicket.
Richmond, April 14. — A lit of small
articles, which, with one exception, are oi
the kind likely to form the contentsof t
lady’s hand satchel, were found recently ii
a briarwood thi ket about three hundred
yards from the reservoir and near Holly
wood Cemetery. They were turned over t<
the acting commonwealth’s attorney. The
articles consist of a piece of a paper of pins,
the steilworkof alidy’s small satchel, a
spool of cotton, a knife bl .de, a pen
h< Ider, a scrap of wine-color d silk,
a bit of dark fur-covered dress
goods, two nickel pieces, a portion of an en
velope, the only writing on it that is legible
being the letter “N” in the name of the
party addressed. There was also a piece of
wire with some hair attached, which is sup
posed to have been false side whiskers. All
these articles have been through fire and are
charred, the cotton on the spool being nearly
all burned off. There are no signs of a fire
on the,spot where they were found. Whether
the skeleton satchel and its charred contents
have any important connection with the
Madison murder case remains to be seen.
As they are now, they do not form a semb
lance of a clue. The authorities, however,
were glad to get possession of them, and the
commonwealth’s attorney seemed to attach
considerable importance to them. The ar
ticles were found nearly as far south of the
scene of Lillian’s death as her shawl was
found northeast of it. The satchel collection
was slightly scattered when found. Five
or six yards from them was found an empty
bot la, which emitted a strong odor of pen
nyroyal. The Dispatch commenting on the
finding of the satchel remains, says : “It
they belong to the Madison case, they show
that two men were engaged in the murder.
They would go to prove also that or e of the
men made off from the scene of murder by
going southward towards the river, and the
other m- de off in the opposite direction to
wards Main sue-’. The former might have
thrown the darkish-red “Ik handke-chief
and the more recent‘find’ in the bushes. Tl e

shawl over Mr. Dunstan’s fence. Either i f

It has been learned that Herman Joel, a
German watchmaker of this city, when on a
busine-s visit to Centreville, King and
Queen county, a year ago, mended for
Cluverius a gold watch key, which key Joel
is expected to prove is the identical one
found at the reservoir alongside of Miss
Madison’s veil on the day of the discovery
of the body. Joel has been enjoined not to
talk on the subject, but the fullest confi
dence is fit here tha' he can prove the key
by his own handiwork on it, and that he
will identify Cluverius as the man for whom
he did the repairing. The case comes up

MACON MATTERS.
Bas“ Ball Absorbing All Inter* st—Bad I) -
ft at «»f the Chattanoogas—Fireman’s
Day-A Delightful jCi* rman—
The Str et Railway.
Special Correspondence Daily Times.
Macon. April 16 —Macon k o i top in
base bell. Everyone predicted a defeat of
the Macons to-day Iy the cri ck team from
Chattanooga, as Krauff, our bra/ pitcher,
was disal led, and S evens, the next pitcher,
has just recovered from a bed of sickness.
Macon went to the bat first, and with a
sigh the crowd looked upon this as a big
point for their opponents. Not so, how
ever, as in a very short time the home boys
had scored two runs and were put out on
balls knocked to left and center fields, thus
showing them that they could easily bat the
( hattamogas. Then came a “goose egg’
for the visitors and one run for Macon;
another “goose egg” to two more runs
fir Macon, and so on “goose eggs”
fir the Clatano’gas until the
last inning, when they made
two runs. The score finally stood Macon
19, Chattanooga 2. This “Waterloo” for
Macon will have its effect and show the
ot' er clubs that Macon has a crack team
The visitors take their defeat hard and look
much depressed t -night. There was a
tremendous crowd in the park—over 2,000
people.
I'his has been “firemens’ ” day here, and,
unlike the usual anniversaries of the Macon
Fire Department, there was a very small
and uninteresting celebration. Ihe old
time enthusiasm has died out a:.<l the
“voung bloods” of the town 1 >"k now to
other sources for contests of ski 1 and manly
sj orts. Base ball als Tbs everyone now.
There was but one contest to-day, and that
taking place after a short parade down Sec
ond to Mulberry, then up Mulberry to the
monument. The test was, reel to be placed
25 yards from the plug, and squad 75 yards
from the reel. At a given signal the squad
was to run to the reel, catch the same, run to
the plug, attach and lay 50 feet of hose, dis
connect, attach pipe and throw 50 feet of
water.
Defiance, No. 5, made the best test in 23
seconds. Protection, No. 1, in 25 seconds.
Ocmulgee, No. 2, made a big round “O,” as
likewise did East Macon, No. 6. Nos. 3 and
4 di<l not enter the contest.
A most enjoyable german is going on to
night at Mr. 8. T. Coleman’s handsome res
idence. It is given by lhe Ladies Ge'min
Club, Mr. Stewart Jones and Miss Kittie
Zeilin led the dance in handsome and grace
ful style.
Messrs. Carling and Brown seem deter
mined to go ahead with the street railroad
in spite of threatened irjunctions, croakers,
etc. No sooner hid they struck the “snag”
reported a few days since, than they picked
up tools and men and started at the other
end of the line at Crocket’s foundry. And
the good work goes rapidly on.

Mr. Gladstone requested the Baron to

Statistics show that more than h If a '
million of Parisians are employedin cot- j
merce, trade and banking operations, whi’e ,
of the artisan class there are consideratle '
more than a million and a quarter. Tbe ,
liberal professions seem to occupy but a
small proportion of the population. AH ,
combined do not amount to 200 000
The great majority are in public ;
service, which employs more than
medicine, law and divinity combined. But \
after the public service it is art which gives
employment and livelihood to the greatest ,
number of Parisians. Forty-two thousand '
get their income from this branch of indus- ,
try. The doctors come after, but a long way ,
after. Medicine, in its branches, supports ,
18,000, the branches, of course, including ‘
chemists and all compounders and venders j
of medicine. Then comes the law, with its .
16,000 v< t tries, from judge to crier. Litera- ,
ture figures low in the list, for, with science j
and journalism, it gives employment to only .
11,000 people; while all theclergy of all the
persuasions amount to but half that num- 1
ber. On the whole Paris would seem tc be j
more industrious, more artistic, less literary [
and less religious than the ordinary visitor [
would suppose, wh le the proportion in 1 ;
which the working class exceeds (
those who live on their own income is more .
r markable, as Paris is the recognized centre ' ,
of expenditure and extravagance from ail .

GRANT AND LEE.
A I’ret'y Story of How the Former Saved
the Latter from Arrest.
New York Special to Philadelphia Times.
The war was over. General Lee and his
I’alt starved Confiderates hud returned t<
their des'fated homes ou their parole of
honor. The victorious Northern and West
ern armies, under command of Grant and
Sherman, were encimped in and around
Washington city Jefferson Davis was an
inma'e of a casement in Fortress Monroe,
ind E l win M. S anion was the power be
hind 'he throne who ran the government
while Secretary of War. Generals Grant
and Rawlins were playingagameof b lliards
in the National Hotel, and two civilians
were indu'g ng in that pastime on an oppo
site tab'e. A maj >r of the regular army en
ter* d the spacious room in a hurry and
whispered to G neral Grant. Toe latter
laid hiscueon the table, saying: “Riwlins,
don’t disturb the balls un'il I return,” and
hurried out. One of the civilians said to
the other : “Pay for the game and hurry out.
Tiiere is something up.”
General Grunt had rea bed the street
where, in front of tbe hotel, stood a mount
ed sentine l . Grant ordered the sr l lier to
dismount and, springing into the saddle,
put spurs to the horse and rode up the
avenue so fist as to attract lhe attention of
pedestrians. Th*- first civilian questioned
the si Id er as to the cause of such sudden
haste ou the part of General Grant, but was
answerid with the surpr'se of one who knew
nothing. The second citizen ap: eartd say
ing, “What has become of rant?” On
bei"g t< Id of tbe Genera ds break-neck ride
u| Pennsylvania avenue it was decided to
go the War Department and learn the
cause, if p' s-ibie. Colonel Barroll, of the
Sec< nd Regu'ar Infantry and husband ol
Sue Denin, the actress, was disbursing officer
in the Quartermaster’s Departmei t, pre
sided over by General Rucker, and to the
Colorel one of the civilians went for infoi
tion. A-king him if he knew the reason
of Gener. 1 Grant’s hasty action and if he
had seen tbe hero of the hour around the
departmtn', Colcnel Barroll answered, “yes,”
but was surprised at anybody's knowledge of
the event When told of what transpired
in the bidiard room of the National Hotel,
the Colonel said: “W< 11, as you are aware
of the coming oi General Grant I will tell
you all about it, provided you promise not
to repeat it.”
The promise being given, Colonel Barroll
said: 'Secretary Stanton sent for me in re
ference to the execution of certain orders,
and while listening to his instructions Gen
eral Grant came in. The Secretary greeted
the General with a pleasant ‘Good morning,’
which the hitter returned, and in continua
tion said: Mr. Secretary, I understand that
you have issued orders for the arrest of Gen
eral Lee and others, and desire, to know if
such orders have been placed in the hands of
any officer for execut’on. T have issued
writs for the arrest of all prominent rebels*
and officers will be dispatched on the mission
pretty soon,’ replied the Secretary. General
Grant appeared cool, though laboring under
mental excitement, and quickly said: ‘Mr
Secretary, when General Lee surrendered to
me at Appomattox Court House I gave him
my word and honor that neither he nor any of
his followers would be disturbed so long as
they obeyed their parole of honor. I have
learned nothing to cause me to believe that
any of my late adversaries have broken their
promises,’ and have come here to make you
aware of that [fact, and would also suggest
that these orders be canceled.’ Secretary
Stanton became terribly angry at being
spoken to in such a manner by his
inferior officer and said: ‘General
Grant, are you aware whom you are
talking to? I am the Secretary of War."
Quick as a flash, Grant answered back:
‘And I am General Grant. Issue those or
ders at your peril.” Then turning on his
heel General Grant walked out of the room
as unconcerned as if nothing had happened.
“It is needless to say,” continued Colonel
Barroll, “that neither General Lee nor any
of his soldiers were arrested. I was dis
missed from the presence of the Secretary
with the remark that my services in connec
tion with the arrest of the leading rebels
would be dispensed with until he took time
to consider, and I now await the result of his
decision.”
Like some cases in law, that decision
of the great War Secretary was reserved for
all time, but whether the game of billiards
between Generals Grant and Rawlins was
ever played out to an end has never been
definitely known, though it was surmised
that with the aid of a consoling cigar the
game was finished.
HARMLESS AND AMUSING.
Some of the Ludicrous Feats of a Weak-
Miuded Darkey.
Captain Peck, the big, fat negro, who is
known by everybody, was the cause of great
hilarity yesterday on Broughton street, and
attracted quite a crowd. Some parties,
knowing the weakness of the unfortunate
man, gave him a piece of tobacco and a pipe
on condition that he would walk on his
hands and knees across the street and al
low himself to be sprinkled. He did soand
was the objective point for some will’di
rected streams of water and some well aimed
missiles. A few davs ago he turned several
bear like somersaults in the mud on Bull
street, opposite Mr. John F. LaFar’s gents’
furnishing store, for a hat, and again walked
about the streets literally covered with rail
road printing. He jumped into the canal
another time and swam acrcss for a few
cents, and on frequent occasions he has un
dertaken to perform some feats, which were
not encouraged, as the good sense ] f those
to whom he made the oiler would not per
mit them to be accessories to his death.
Since Capt. Peck has quit sleeping like
Diogenes in a barrel or tub, and has taken
to performing grotesque feats for a living,
instead of stealing, as he, was accustomed tc,
he avoids the pciicemen and escapes arrest.
He is a strange negro.
Assault and Battery.
Last evening a colored man named Tom
Washington boarded a car on the Barnard
street line of the City and Suburban Rail
way and became abusive and insolent. He
was expostulated with by Mr. Henry Ennis,
the conductor, who was attacked by the
negro. Mr. Ennis was badly beaten about
the head and face and had some of his teeth
knocked out.

in Earni st.
Washington, April 15. —Washington has
not exactly reached the stage of midsummer
dullness, but is rapidly approaching it. The
number of strangers in the city is not notice
ably large, and their being many seekers
after office among them, they are not of the
class which has much money to spend. As
a rule, moreover, the longer they stay the
less they have. The continued anxiety of
tho government clerks, which not even the
assurance of the civil service law
can entirely relieve, is also having
a marked effect on trade. Men and women
who live from day to day, not knowing how
soon they may be turned out upon the cold
charities of the world, are husbanding their
little incomes instead <f squandering them
as heretofore. Collections are slow, and
there are many ctllections to make, for
there is no city of its size on the continent,
or probably any other continen', where up
to recently and for years past the credit
system has more generally or loosilv pre
vailed. Asa consequence, the merchants
are not looking for much trade this sum
mi r
Mr (leveland is said to be greatly pleased
with the result of the coalition in Michigan,
and he has good reason to be. it is a strong
endorsement from an unexpected quarter,
but that State is not going to le satisfied
with getting a mere comtnissionership of
patents. It wi 1 insist upon some further
recognition and upon such a distribution of
the local patronage as the leidersof the
party may deem it most expedient in order
to hold the position they ha-e won.
It begins to look now as though the move- j
ment upon the partisan <ffi -eln filers of the
South would ci mmence soon and in good
earnest. It will berin in Virginia and be
t 11 >wed up with vigor in No'th Carolina.
This information comes direct from a mem
ber of the Cabinet, himself a Southerner.
Nothing short of a complete cleaning out of
the Mahone gang which has been so long
and comfortably entrenched in Vi ginia can
po-sibly save that State at the next guber
natorial election. The patronage consists of
over 2 OCO postoffices, several profitable c 1
lectcrships and a regiment of deputies,
gaugers and inspectors, together with the
judicial offices of the two Federal districts
and various other positions more of less de
siral le, every one of which from highest to
lowest is now filled with the most offensive
partisans known to our national politics.
There is nothing new in regard to the
Rome postmastership, and nothing that
lie! ds to he said. Everyone agrees that Mr
Cleveland did his plain duty in suspending
the incumbent.
Ihe latest event in newspaper cir< les i“
the sale of the Critic at a price far bi low its
actual value. It was at one time considered
a valuable newspaper property, but has been
badly mismanaged for the last two or three
years, until General Brad;-, finding it grad
ually eating him out of house and home,
determined to sell at any sacrifice. The es
tablishment has a good double-cylirder Hoe
press and a fair outfit of material, but other
wise needs thorough reorganization. It is
the intention of the new proprietors to
change its name and make various im
provements in its style and character, such
as may best fit it for active and successful
competition with the old established and
money-making Star. It will be under the
editorial management of Mr. Sylvester, late
of the Post.
UP IO MISCHIEF.
Arrested for Carrying CancealedWeapoos.
Last night, abort 10 o’clock, Policeman
Kelly, who was on duty on South Broad
street, had to go to Price street to Steif
everything was all right. In passing by the
house of Lydia Boyce he noticed a man
standing in the doorway peering through
a transom. The policeman saw the man
draw a revolver and deliberately aim it at
some cne inside the house, but before he
could shoot the door was opened suddenly.
The man then drew back anei hastily put
the revolver in his pocket. Hethen went
inside the house and leaned against the bar.
Pi liceman Kt Uy then followed, and putting
his hand cn the man’s shoalder, put him
under arrest for carrying concealed weapons
He denied it but the officer pulled
out the revolver and handed it to a
bystander and told him to take it to the bar
racks. The man then wanted to bulldoze
Officer Kelley,but finding that did network,
he endeavored to bribe him. That was
equally as futile. Then he ti ied to work on
his sympathies by telling him that he had a
wife and two children. He was locked up.
He gave the name of J. B. Sines. He said
he was Station Master at No. 3 Savannah,
Florida and Railway. In the Mayor’s Court
this morning he was arraigned for carrying
concealed weapons, and required to give
bond for his appearance at the City Court

The marriage of Mr. Isadore Lehman, of
Savannah, to Miss Amelia Iseman, the
daughter of Mr. M. Isemaqof this city, took
place at the Hasel street Synagogue at half
past six o’clock yestirday afternoon. The
happy event created quite a stir in social
circles, both in this city and in Savannah,
and the train from Savannah, which reached
here at noon yesterday, brought quite a
crowd of ladies and gentlemen, notwith
standing the fact that there were six or
seven weddings in Savannah last night.
Among the visitors were Mr. and Mrs.
Lee Roy Meyers, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Lilien
thal, Mr. and Mrs. Wannbacher, Mr. and
Mrs. A. Lehman, and others. Cards of invi
tation were issued to the wedding and had
to be produced at the entrance to the Syna
gogue, which, it is needless to say. was
crowded to its utmost capacity. The guests
as they entered the synagogue were con
ducted to seats by the ushers, and notwith
standing the crowd there was no confusion
and very little crowding.
Promptly at half-past 7 o’clock the bridal
procession entered the church, the organ
pealing forth the Grand March from Tan
hauser. The four ushers, attired in full
evening dress, with silk hats and while kid
gloves, and wearing bridal favors, headed
ihe profession. The ushers were Dr. J H.
Winstock, Mr. Sol Blank, Mr. Isadore J lank
nd Mr. Samuel Israel. Next foil wed
attendants: Mr, M ses Lilienthal and Miss
Fannie Iseman, Mr. S' 1 Iseman and Miss
Carrie Lilienthal. The ushers stationed
themsi Des at the four corners i f the bridal
canopy, which w s erected on a raised plat
form, and which consisted of rich lace
adorned with white and pur; le flags, the
columns being entwined with biid. 1 wreaths
and orange blossoms. Alter the attendar; s
came Mr. and Mrs. Lee Roy Meyers, who
represent d the mother of the groom, and
who took their stand under the canopy to
the left of the rabbi. Next followed Mrs.
Iseman, the mother of the bride, leaning on
the arm oi the groom, and list came the
brii’i- leaning on the arm of her father. Mr.
M Is man
'lhe bride as she en'ered was of course
the cynosure of every eye in the audience.
She was attired in a love'y dr ss of white
S'lk, the court train being brocaded in palm
leaves and trimmed at the bottom with the
liuiest and mest chaimirg b x ; leating.

fitted close, and was dec It'. < n her
bead she wore a bridal ciown of orange
I iossoms and a veil of white t> 1 e which

the custom of the church the bride wore no
jewelry during the marriage ceremony. At
the reception, however, ihe wore diamonds
bracelets and diamond clus er earings, and
wore upon her finger a fine solitaire dia
mond ring and a cluster of diamonds t’ e
gift of the groom.
THE HUMOROUS SIDE
Os the Mayor ’s Court.
In the Mayor’s Court sometimes the gen
eral misery is leavened by a streak of humor.
This is patent to newspaper reporters and the’
police. The unfortunate men and women
who are arrested are either badly frightened
or take things as they come in a practical
philosophical way that plainly bespeaks their
belief that they are no worse than the rest of
mankind, only that the rest have escaped
being caught. In the minor class of cases the
humerous element is not lacking and the spec
tators enjoy it. There is a flavor about the
way witnesses and parties make their state
ments to Mayor Lester in order to gain
his confidence and sympathy which is cer
tainly humorous. They give him “ghost
stories” about “respectable connections, ’
“reflect shame,” “first time in my life. ’ They
tell him they did nothing, no nothing; that
it was the policeman and prosecuting wit
nesses who caused all the trouble; but the
argumentative value of. these excuses fade
away when the Mayor reminds them that
tnev are freed or prisoners as the case may
be. There is scarcely a day in the week
when the Mayor’s Court does not show as
humorous a side as most minstrel shows.
Criminal Carelessness of a WortlilessNurse
Yesterday afternoon a colored girl, who is
employed by a lady, Mrs. Scott, living on
Gwinnett street, as a nurse, carelessly left
her little charge on the sidewalk while she
walked away a few rods to hold communi
cation with the visible form of a fat regress in
a kitchen door. The child in the carriage
became restless and moved about from side
to side, giving an impulse to the vehicle,
which sent it forward over the edge of the
sidewalk and pitched the child out. The
little one was injured about tbe face and
hands; and the ignorant and brutish nurse,
instead < t calming and pacifying the child,
loudly upraided and actually cursed it for
disturbing her conversation. Just of such
characters are many of the young nurses
who can be seen in all the squares of tbe
city.
