ON THE KUSCH.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that
the government has received General Kom
arofi’s reply U> the strictures on the actions
of the Russians previous to and since the
occupation of Penjdeh, contained in the
report of Sir Peter Lumsden to his govern
ment. In his reply General Komarofi ad
mits that he had received strict orders
from his government to refrain from making
any forward movement pending the settle
ment of the Russo-Afghan frontier dispute,
and asserts that he had endeavored to carry
out these orders in good faith, but the officers
under him had not been advised of the
government’s wishes, and therefore did not
exercise the same precaution. He says,
however, they had been instructed to avoid,
if possible, conflict with Afghans, and no
attack on. the latter was intended when the
fight on the Rusk river of the 30th of
March occurred. General Komaroff then
goes on to explain how the conflict was!
brought about. He says previous to the;
fight only a sortie of Turcomans advance!
toward Penjdeh, with no intention of at- I
tacking the pltce, and withdrew on the]
approach cf the Afghans.

THE WIZARD EDISON.
Harnessing New Electrical Thoughts to
Practical Work.
A writer in a New York paper says : I
found Mr. Edison last week in his labora
tory on Avenue B, and asked him what was
the newest thought that he had harnessed
to matter. [‘This,” he answered, and called
my attention to a board hanging by one
edge to ropes above our heads, its surface
covered with tinfoil. In further explanation
he said: “ That solves the question of
telegraphing to ruuning trains. As soon as
that little device is adopted every moving
train in the country will become a tele
graphic station, and anybody aboard the
train may be telegraphed to as easily as if he
was standing still. This will not be done by
putting up a new set of wires, under the
train or at its side, but by using the ordi
nary telegraph now running by the side of
the track. It is a new and hitherto unknown
process of induction, by which I make elec
tricity jump thirty-five feet through the
air, carrying the message without spelling
it. How’s that for lively 1”
The inventor’s face glowed with pleasure
at the thought as be went or: “By putting
up this tinfoil-covered board lengthwise on
the top of each car I can catch a message
from the wire strung on poles thirty feet
off, and can fling an answer back to the wire.
It requires no change in the wires of any
sort. The secret of it is in the machine for
transmitting. When I was investigating
what I called the ‘etheric force’ a few years
ago I accidentally discovered certain curi
ous properties of static electricity. These
f have now applied. The process is very
inexpensive, as three men could equip a
road 300 miles long for SI,OOO in three or
fur days. It seems certain that its adop
tion will be genera), so that every train Will
be run from headquarters and every pas
senger will be accessible to his friends.
What do I call it? I haven’t named the
baby yet.” Mr. Edison looked exceedingly
well, although he was robed in a gown of
bed-ticking reaching from collar to ankles
which was not very picturesque.
At the Edison factory in Goerck street a
new passenger car of the elevated road is
being equipped with electric motors which
are to take the place of the present steam lo
comotive in the early summer. The car is
turned bottom upward, and two dynamos
weighing about 1,000 pounds each are ad
justed to the under side in proximity to the
I wheels. One dynamo drives the four for-
I ward wheels, and the other the four rear
wheels. Every car is to be similarly rigged
s* as to bear its own motive power. A train
(of four cars, instead of having one sixteen
th locomotive, with two great driving
wheels, will have no locomotive, but every
one of the thirty-two wheels will be a driving
wheel. The eight dynamos will
weigh about half as much as a locomotive,
and they w 11 all respond to the touch of I
one conductor. Mr. Bichellor, in charge of
the work, tells me that one car can be run
jiljne in the easy hotirs, while in the
Crowded hours tenor a dozen cm be run in.
I; train, and that they can reach a speed of
iwenty miles on hour. Mr. Russel Sage,
I "horn I saw yesterday, felt sure that the
I eeitric motors will enable the aerial roads
| tccarry one-third to one-half more passen
| ges than they are now doing, and that the
triins will be much moie safe safe and man
ajiable.

1 Democ-ats Who Are Not Satisfied With
the Condition of Things—They Think
the Administration Should Move
More Rapidly—The Republicans
, Counting on Making Political
s Capital Out ot the Delay.
- Washington, April 2U.—A Democrat
8 who figured very prominently during the
[ election dispute of 1876, and who comes oc-
2 casiena'.ly to the Capital, was very emphatic
- to day in expressing his dissatisfaction with
f the administration. He thinks it ought to
1 move more rapidly, and that nine out of
s ten of the men who voted for Mr. Cleve
; land believe as he does. “We. went into
the campaign last fall,” he said, “declaring
! r for a reform which should substitute for
j corruption, extravagance and idleness, all
■ asserted to be the results of R publican
t misrule, hones y, economy, and industry.
, The Democrais have been in possession
of the government nearly two months
• How much reform work has been
; done ? What has been done in
s the Interior Department ? How much
■ reform has there been introduced into the
• Postoffice Department? Has the State De
■ partment been reformed? You must admit
i one of two things—either the Democrats won
■ the last campaign by false pretenses, or they
• are incompetent to carry on the work of re
l form they set themselves to do. If no changes
• need to be made in the departments, why all
. our orators have lied.”
! It is rather interesting to hear s ntimeuts
■ npt unlike these expressed in the depart
s ments by employes; yet there are officers in
s the service who are wondering why more j
changes are not made. The Treas-I
i ury Department is being run |
s in many oi its most important divisions by
i men conspicuous for their pul tical inefii-rien- i
- cy and their opposition to a change. They are
s in the old ruts, attached to all the dl cus
< toms and practices, and the newcomers
- enter so si jwly that one has jnst time to get j
? accustomed to time-honored red tape when 1
- ano'her comes in to learn from his predt- [
■ I cetsor how to be comfortable. While the I
I I assertion made to-day that the “Treasury is I
i ' being run by blatant Blaine men” may not
-1 be absolutely accurate, it is undoubtedly
-| true that the cause of genuine reform
■ i will be advanced when the weeding
-1 process has been carried much further
i j than it has gone. The Internal Reve
, j nue Department, it is safe to say, is
not a whit belter for a chance of Commit
f signer. When Air. Miller finds time to ae
i vote to internal revenue business it is prob
able that he will not be satisfied to have ,
, that bureau conducted entirely upon the
old plans. Up to this time he has done
little besides listen to and consider the re- I
quests of office seekers. That business has I
about worn him out, and he goes to-morrow I
to his home in West Virginia for a week’s i
rest. When he returns he may think it
worth while to fook into the methods of I
business in his office. In the interior
department there are remaining men whose
names have been spoken for years only
with disrespect and suggestion of rotten
ness. They appear to be safely quartered.
Yet this is the department in which frauds
were to be discovered thick and fast. It
would be a very agreeable thing to the Re
pul Jicans to be aids next December to
taunt the Democrats with inability to sat
isfy the accusations brought against the
department! during the campaign. Some
Republicans no doubt believe they would
make better discoveries themselves.
MACON MATTERS.
i
A Scandal in High Life—Macon vs. Mem
phis. i
Macon, April 30.—A scandal in high
life has been the talk of the town to-day. ,
The parties are a prominent divine of East
Macon and a popular young lady of that <
clissic suburb. By urgent request the mat- <
ter so far has kept out of the press, except ;
in a general way. On Monday afternoon i
the Evening News contained a slight refer- ]
ence to the affair, and made the mistake of J
gating it effected a prominent divine of t
Mucod instead of East Macon-which in all <
matters cl a business, religious, 6001617 or J
pclilical nature is always spoken of st par- t
ately from Macon, and this custom has made (
a dividing line broader and deeper than the g
sluggish Ocmulgee which is the legal divid- i
ing line. The editor of the News has been f
approached by several of the reverened gen- s
tiemen of Macon and told that he must re- r
tract the statement or publish the whole a
affair. It is not known what will come of 6
the matter, but to-night it looks as though t
the press will soon spread it to the world, t
It will create a stir amongst the good peo- c
pie in this section on account of the promi- f
inence of the parties, if it finds its way into ]
the newspapers, and the eyes of many wi’l a
be opened and their voices exclaim aloud, t
Who next? c
Macon beat Memphis again to-day by a
score of 4to 2. Macon is still ahead as to
rank in the league games. Harold.

WESTERN PRODUCE.
Ihe Bulls Feeling Encouraged Over
Wheat, but the Bears Still San
-5 guine Ovet Provisions.
Chicago, April 30—On ’Change, the
quotations of English consols, and rumored
b | utterances by diplomats, continue to be the
leading cause of the movement of prices for
grain if not for hog products. The crowd
watch and wait, and wait and watch for
something to develop on the other side, and
in view of the general uncertainty go home
as nearly even as possible each night.
Other facts are rated as of but small im
t portance in comparison with the situation
s abroad, and yet they aie the only ones of
_ which an intelligent idea can be formed by
parties interested in the produce movemeni.
c Wheat appears much easier to sustain
i now, in the neighborhood of 90c. for June,
j than it was a few weeks ago at 10al2c. below
f that figure. It has attracted a rather large
following of such men as Adams, Phelps,
Bliss and others whose faith cannot be easily
> shaken and it is the opinion of not a few
, conservative parties in the trade if the war
‘ question was out of the way the markets
! would go higher on its merits. The damage
1 done by unfavorable weather since last fall
i may have been exaggerated by some, but the
. best men agree there is no reasonable doubt
i that the percentage is largslv reduced be
yond recovery. No amount of good weather
I can make a dead plant grow and most of the
i winter wheat is without doubt killed [though
advices from.the country are generally far bet
: ter than a short time ago. With the excep
tion of a dozen or s> traders noted above who
have quietly loaded up and are now lookers
i on, business is almost entirely in small lots,
and of a scalping nature.
“Tradersare wailing to buy the wheaton
■ a break,” remarked Everingham tc-day,
“but the lunger they wait the more they
wi'l have to pay. Should there be a war, it
will go up quickly while should everything
be pacific it will advance any way on the
crop outlook and rapid, decrease in the vit-
■ I sible supply.”
i Still matters are now so mixed that any
j thing like a valuable forecast is out efthe
I quts iun, the reasonable anticipations of the
morning being proved tn irely worth
j less by noon cn account of news
.which perhaps liter in the day, is found
j to have no foundatiou.
i Corn follows the fillet nations of wheat
closely. There are some rumors that Les
; ter is quietly getting out of his deal, but
I receipts are still light and shipments heavy
while the lapid decrease in the visible sup
ply does not contain much encouragment
for ‘'shorts.” The low grades are in good
shipping demand and selling only slightly
below No. 2, henc" the general opinion
seems to be that tliii is the most healthy
market and safest purchase on the floor.
t Provisions rule slumpy.with the pit near

THE •‘WANDERER.”
R-minincens as of the Old Slave Schooner
Yacht.
The fblluwing very interesting description
of the old and f amous schooner yacht Wan
derer is taken from the New York Herald :
The model of the once famous schooner
Wanderer (not the modern Wanderer),
which was built in 1857 at Point Jeffersor,
L. I , by J. Rowland, after the design ot
Mr. Thomas B. Hawkins, was presented to
the New York Yacht Club Wednesday.
Fabulous stories concerning this old craft’s
speed were circulated by the newspapers
just before the war broke out, and when she
was seized for running slaves into Savannah,
Ga. She was originally built for Mr.
John C. Johnson, and sold afterward to
Colonel W. C. Curry, of Savannah, Ga., who
was elected a member of the New York
Yacht Club in May, 1858, being proposed by
John T. Stagg and seconded by Mr. Langley
Bruce. As soon as it was found that the
Colonel was importing slaves under the flag
of the New York Y. C., he was promptly ex
pelled from membership, which event is
recorded in the club’s .annals of February 5,
1859. After being condemned by the United
States Government, the Wanderer was used
as a dispatch boat on the Gulf with head
quarters at Key West. A Boston firm got
her when she was sold, and she was put in
the fruit trade, but was wrecked near
Cape Henry. Her model is quite flat amid
ships, with its ends well balanced and hav
ing very little drag line, but its bow is quite
full on the luff, having short hollow lines
ending against a “flafe-over” Bifern. The
run is all that could be desired in a yacht,
and there is no doubt that the old-time
slaver war ft powerful craft, by reason,
mainly, of her dimensions; but the geome
try of her model is crude when viewed in
comparison with American clipper designs.
She was 114 ft. long on deck. 24ft. wide, 10
1 2ft deep in the hold and 19ft 9in. draft,
and her model is indeed a valuable addition
to the club’s collection of historical clipper
craft.
A Handsome Cane.
Capt. D. G. Purse, it will be re
membered, was presented with a hand
some cane by the Georgia Med
ical Association, in appreciation of his
courtesies and kindness to the members dur
ing their deliberations!! ere. He hospitably
provided an excursion party to Tybee, and
lavished on them the gifts of the season.
The cane was left at Hamilton’s jewelry
store to be properly engraved, and yesterday
Capt. Purse secured it. The cane, which is
a handsome ebony one, had engraved on
top of the gold head “D. G. Purse,” and in
a circle on the head “From Medical Asso
ciation of Georgia. Tybee, 1885.”. Capt.
Purse highly appreciates the souvenir, com
ing as it does from such distinguished
hands. •

i
The military parade that took place to
day in honor of the Inter-Sate Tournament
’ and as an escort to the Georgia Hussars and
visiting companies, was a most interesting
one, and attracted thousands of people to
! the streets through which the military
! passed. At an early hour the rattle of the
drum, the blast of the bugle, the clanking
of sabres and the appearance of brilliantly
< uniformed cavalry and artillerymen, and
neatly attired infantrymen proclaimed the
fact that there would be a parade of more
■ than usual interest. This was shortly af
terwards demonstrated, as the approaches to
every hotel containing a visiting troop en
tered for the tournament, every armory and
■ hall for local troops was crowded by
friends and admirers of the military. The
committee in charge of the arrangements had
everything so cared for that at the appointed
' time the parade was ready for starting. At
■ 9 o’clock Liberty street between Barnard
and Abercorn streets was crowded on both
sides, while windows, doorways, porches and
piazzas were jammed. The parade was form
ed on Liberty street in the following order:
First Georgia Regiment. Lieut. Col. Peter
Reilly in command, with Lieuts. B. H,
Richardson and John W. Wilson as aides.
The regiment was formed with the
right resting on Bull street as
follows: Republican Blues, Capt. Geo.
A. Mcerer; German Volunteers, Capt.
John Derst; Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
Capt. Robert Falligant; Savannah Cadets,
Capt. H. M. Branch, and Irish Jasper Greens,
Capt. John Flannery. The regiment was
proceeded by the Union Cornet Band. Next
came the Savannah Volunteer Guards Bat-,
talion, commanded by Col. Wm. Garrard.
The battalion had out its famous bind, and
paraded with pretty full ranks in the follow
ing order:
Company A.II. C. Cunningham, Captain;
Company B, R. R Richards, Lieutenant;
Company C, J. L. Taylor, Captain.
The Chatham Artillery, the veteran or
ganization, followed in superb style, Capt.
John F. Wheaton commanding. Then
came carriages containing the folliwing
who were selected as judges: Cob C. H.
Olmstead, Gen. R. H. Anderson, Col. R. J.
Davant and Major W. F. Shellman, of
Savannah: Co l C. M. Wil’y, of Macon; Gen.
J. C. Davant, of South Carolina; Major W.
A' Wilkins, of Waynesboro; and Lieutenant
Stoney, of Charleston.
The cavalry then came in battalion for
mation with Capt. John M. Clark, of the
Richmond Hussars, in command, Lieutenant I
G. B. Pritchard as Adjutant and Sergeant
A. R. Lawton, Jr, as Sergeant Maj >r. The
troops marched as follows: Richmond Hus

swords in.front, of black plume.
Georgia Hussars Capt. Gordan com
manding. This gallant corps made
an impossing appearance and
turned out in full numbers. Their hand
some uniform: and manly bearing won
encomiums from the spectators. The course
taken by the pageant was from Liberty
down to Abercorn, from Abercorn to Bay,
up Bay to Bull to Broughton, up Broughton
to Barnard, up Barnard to South Broad,
up to West Broad and to the Central Rail
road depot where the first regiment of
Georgia, the Guards Bata)lion and the
Chatham Artillery halted and formed in line,
facing South, and saluted the cavalry ssthey
rode by in gallant style. The cavalry thsn
moved on to the Ten Broeck race ourse
where the tournament will be heli.
A large crowd went over
on the trains that the Central
Railroad had in waiting, while many went

G. H. Berry, D. O. Morgan, E. V. Mingle
dorf, W. F. Green, and G. W. Allen. These
will constitute the teams in the tournament.
Thousands of people visited the Ten Broeck
Course to-day, and by the time the Times is
at press the gallant troops will be as anxiously
watched by fair women and brave men, as
Richard Cocur de Leon’s army in mediae
val ages. Hundreds of fair women are wear
ing to-day their favorite colors, but as yet the
success of the tournament is not known. The
S6OO A YE AR
mane uvering, the horse exercises, the time
and the sabre exercise, will all be taken into
consideration to enable the Judges to deter
g mine on which team will take the prize.
Hundreds of people will go out this after
noon to witness the tournament. To-night a
grand ball will be given at Masonic Temple,
e which will doubtless be one of the mosi suc
cessful of the season.
THE POPULAR GAME.
Savannahs vs. Augustas To-Morrow—
League Gaines Yesterday—Base Ball
Notes.]
The Savannahs and Augustas will cross
t bats to-merrow afternoon at the new base
1 ball park. The Savannahs are in excellent
trim and promise to make a creditable show
® ing. They play well together, and as the
0 Augustas will bring to the city a strong team
y they aie expected to do good work. Nicolls
e will occupy the box on the opening day and
Smith on Saturday. They are both fine
’ pitchers and are daily gaining friends in
? Savannah. Gillan’s finger was injured at
1 the last game with the Davis Bros’., by a
e foul tip from Kruso’s bat, but he will plucki
-3 ly face Nicolls despite all that. The Savan
nahs are all good batters and runners and
I are under thorough training. Fisher, the
• captain is a strict disciplinarian and knows
1 how to keep the men in hand. The Savan
f nahs are anxious to meet the visitors as they
? know they will come with a strong nine,
i The local club are now beginning to under-
> stand each other and will make the Augus
t tas play good ball. The Savannahs are
1 working for a record. There is not a grand
‘ stand player in the nine. They will not
1 strive to make individual plays to the jeo
pardy of the others, but are working thor-
"■ onghly in accord. The manager wants to
r keep the nine together all the season and is
• satisfied that he can do so without making
• any changes or substitutes. With “Nick” in
! the pitcher’s box, Gillan facing him and the
full strength of the nine, there will,doubtlesss,
• be some good ball playing.
In the game yesterday the Augustas were
> defeated by the Nashvilles by a score of 2 to
> 1. Hofiord and Sixsmith were the battery
■ I for the defeated cluh. Macon yesterday de
‘ j seated the Memphis club by a score of 4 to 2.
: The friends of the successful nine are boom-
■ j ing them for the pennant and they are work
' ing for it. If the Savannahs get into the
| league the Macons and Atlantas will have to
j do better ball playing than they have done
[ to get any way near our club.
i'he Augustas ,will bring with them to-
J morrow three batteries and will endeavor to
i choke off the Savannahs. They claim that
I they can do it, and have friends here who
are putting up money for them. All the
accommodation they want they are get
ting from people in 'his city, and the
Savannahs have hosts of admirers here who
will put up barrels of money on them if it
is necessary. They are not the kind to be
beaten just now, and they cannot afford to
let Augusta do it thisseason. Thegrand
stand at the new Base Ball Park is rendered
comfortable now by having backs made to
all the seats. The sun will be kept off by
extended boarding. The entrance will be
closed off also so that the sun cannot come
in there. The other stands will be pro
lecled from the sun and made as comforta
ble* as possible. Hundreds of people will
visit the grounds to-morrow and secure
seats for what will be the most interesting
and exciting game of the season so far.
A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.
Arrested Under Belief That He is a Thief.
A white man who gave his name as
Charles Jones, came into the city a few days
ago,and up ata boarding house on Indian
and West Broad streets. He is about five
feet eight inches in height, wears a black
moustache and wears a cap, and may have
been noticed by a number of our people as
he circulated about Savannah in a lively
manner since he has been here. To-day,
however, he was arrested and lodged in jail
on a charge of burglary committed either in
Sandford or Astor, Florida, and the circum
stani c 3 that led to his incarceration were as
follows: He went about the city offering for
sale some articles of silverware, and at
such prices that naturally led
people to suspect that he did not
come honestly by them. Word
was conveyed to Detectives Julius Kauff
mann and Henry Wetherhorn who were
soon on his track following him up. They
arrested him and learned from him that his
name was Chailes Jones, and that he had
purchased, or claimed so to do, a quantity
of silverware from a man named Henry
Thomas on board the steamer G. W. Ward
at Astor, Fla., and that he was selling it be
cause it was his property and he had a per
fect right to do so. The suspicions of the
< fficers was aroused and the man was ar
rested. In his possession at the house on
Indian and West Broad streets the officers
discovered six dozen silver plated tea
spoons with the name of the manufacturer,
W. Rogers, stamped thereon; six dozen
table forks and knives, three dozen large
spoons, two silver watch chains*
four imitation tortciss shell
chains, one plated butter knife,
and one plated knife and fork stand. They
also found telegrams from Sanford, Fla.
and letters from his mother who calls her
self Harriet Curtis, at Wells. Depot, Me.,
and from what is called
Peachtree s'reet, Boston, Mass.
There were letters addressed to
Jones by the name of Julian L. Getchell.
The prisoner says he was an engineer on
the Florida Railroad at Sanford, but the
detectives did not take anystock in what he
says but locked him up in jail in default of
bond. If any person lost any of the articles
enumerated among these found by the de
tectives they can obtain all the necessary
information by applying to them.
The city marshals of Sanford and Astor
hive been communicated with in reference
to the discovery and arrest.
