It is learned that Russian agents in Eng land, Belgium and other countries have been ordered to purchase coal for immedi ate delivery at sellers’ own prices. komaroff's explanation of the fight 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.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1885. 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. MINISTER KEILEY SaysHe Has Accepted the Italian Mission. Wlmington, Del., April 30.—Mr. A. M. Kiley, recently appointed Minister to Italy, i in the city, and stopping with his brothel Rev B. D.

Rrobahilitiee Washington, April 30.—F the South ' Atlantic States, fair weatherjfflowed on j Friday by local rains, variable-fads gen- 1 erally, shifting to southerly, lo r , barom eter, slight rise in temperature. “I can’t sleep!” Sufferers fro nervous J prostration and wasted vitality c regain health by using Hunt’s Kidney j UNHAPPY REFORMERS. 0 1 COMPLAINIG THAT THE WORK IS PROCEEDING TOO SLOWLY. 8 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. BASE BALL IN AUGUSTA. 1 s The Beet Game of the Seaeohi i .... . c Special Correspondence Daily Times. 1 Augusta, April -29.—The Nashvilles de- | seated the Augustas to-day by a score of 2 to i 1.

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 ly deserted or filled with dealers who discuss the beauties of the magnificent new build ing rather than the merits of the product, j With “Hutch,” Armour, McGeorch and I Bliss away the little fellows can’t get up j much interest in the market. Packers are i still bearish and ready to go, “short” on any i advance. 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. • •‘ROUGH ON TOOTHACHE.” i Instant r elief for Neuralgia, Toothache , Faceache.

A GALA DAY. r GRAND MILITARY PARADE ON THE • STREETS. . A Handsome Fageant in Honor of th< Visiting Military—Arrangement of the r Companies in the Parade—The Tilt I and Tournament at the Fair Grounds—List of Teams En tered—The Ball To-Night at Masonic Hail. 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 sars, Lieutenant J. P. Verdery. They wore blue uniforms, goll braid and helmets and made a fine appearance. Beaufort Troop, Capt. T. K. Heyward, These wore light gray suits with lirge hat and drooping feather. Mclntosh Light Dragoons, Capt. H. A. Hopkins. Liberty County Troop, Lieutenant Way. Edgefield Rangers, Capt. T. A. Butler. Edgfield Hussars, Lieut. 8. B. Mays. These were uniformed with gray with hat and black plume. The Effingham Hussars, L'eut. G. H. Berry. 1 hey wore a blue suit, and crossed 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 over In private and hired vehicles. The following compose the teams and the way they are assigned for the tournament: Independent Troop—Lieut. Way, Sergts. Clarke and Waite, Privates Marlin and jq orman. Beaufort Troop—Capt. T. K. Heyward, Privates C. B. Boyd, D. H. Pritchard, O. G. Raymond and J. G. Verdier. Georgia Hussars —First Team, Lieut. Pritchard, Captain; Privates C. A Fleming, G. A. Keller, Jr., J. B. Newton and O.

The tournament will conclude with the Effingham and Hussars who have entered the following team: Lieut. 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. German Volunteers Picnic.
