PEACE RELIEVED ASSURED.
In the House of Lords this evening, Karl
Granville, Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
answering interrogatones concerning the
latest developments in the negotiations
going on between England and Rassia with
regard to the Russo-Afghan frontier ques
tion, stated that the latest "dispatches re
ceived from Sir Edward 1 hornton the
British Ambassador at St. Petersburg, were
very reassuring and he expressed the belief
that a peaceful solution of all disputes
between the governments of both countries
would ultimately be reached.
It was learned that the meeting of the
Cabinet so hastily summoned this eveuing
was for the purpose of considering a teD
g?..m received late this afternoon from Sir
Edward Thornton, the British representa
live at St. Petersburg, stating that the last
English note proposing that the question
whether the convention of March 17, was
broken by Russia be submitted to the arbi
tration of one of the crowned heads
of Europe had been favorably received by
the Russian Government, and that the
council summoned by the Czar to consider
the proposal, had decided in favor of ae
oepting it in principle, but insisted that the
question be submitted in different words, and
that the arbitrator shall decide—not the
question as put in the English note, whether
the convention of March 17th was broken by
Russia, but who broke the convention.

Fails to Convict an Allegi d Murderess

Mary B Tucker, charge! with murder i f
her husband, John Tucker, last February,

ports from the river forty miles northwest
of this place say that the streams arose so

j highest point, higher than for twenty years,
j and actually oveifl >wing parts of that (arm
■ never before inundated. While standing
;on the river bank watching the caving
! banks and surging waters, they discovered
j floating the dead bodies of two men and a
j coffin, the contents of which they could not
j learn, and the carcasses of a dozen horses
I and mules. Having no boats, they could
not rescue the bodies of the men.

GRANT’S CONDITION.
Unfavorable Symptoms Manifested.
New York, May 2.—Last night was the
worst night that Gen. Grant has passed for
two weeks. It was a quiet night bat he
slept only at intervals until (3 o’clock this
m ning, at which he ur 1 e fell nto ad ep
itiat continued until 8 o’clock. About 10
o’clock last night the General settled
down as was supposed for the night. He
believed Dr. Dougl is had left the house.
This was not so and when about 11 o’clock
he heard the doctors voice
in the hall he summoned
him to the sick room. The General seem
ed serious and apprehensive and he re
quested the doctor not to leave the house
until morning. The doctor said when he
left, that the General’s restless night might
have been owing to cerebral exaltation
during the past two days. The weather
too may have contributed to the restless
ness of the patient. The throat and general
physical conditions were not such as to
cause uneasiness. The weekly consultation
will be held to-morrow.

guished. No estimate of the loss can be
given as yet. The villtge was situated at

meetings in making his decision, lie felt
that he had done his duty in the easel ( apt.

cured the compromise. lie saw the great
damage the case was doing the State, and
worked zealously until he brought both sides
to terms. Fink is now in undisputed pos
session.
PHELAN’S ATTEMPTED ASSASSINA
TION.
Dick Short’s Friends Finding Fault With
,the Jury.
New York, May 2.— Captain Phelan did
not visit the District Attorney’s office to
day, and nothing was known there as to his
movements, except that he was under
special police protection. The Nationalists
and dynamiters swarmed at O'Drnovan
Rossa’s office, and a few pud a visit to
Short in his cell at the Toombs.
All of them scout the idea of any
qew attack on Phelan, and the sub
ject was scarcely meati ned. The
principal topic of conversation among them
was the Short jurv and the court proceed
ings in the case. These do not appear to
give satisfaction to Rossa’s friends, one
of whom voiced the opinion of all in these
words: “It appears from the panel that the
men of whom the jury were selected were
nearly al Germans. Os the twelve men
who took their seats in the box
but one has an Irish name while all the
others have either German or Jewish
names. This seems to be unf iir to Dick
Short. These men are very like'y to b?
prejudiced. The first man drawn, Myers,
has been challenged peremptorily, and you
will find that eight or nine more will have
to step aside. Another point deserves atten
tion Daring the trial the couit house has
been filled with German policemen. This
is an intqlt to ’ he Ir shmen on the force who
are second in loyalty to no men ”

BROWN VS. ECKELL.
A Verdict for the Defendant.
The case of John Brown vs. J. A. Eckell,
a suit on a contract, was concluded in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday. The
case originally was brought in the Superior
Court of Mclntosh county and was trans
ferred to the Circuit Court. It was predi
cated as follows: The plaintiff is the owner
of a tug boat and the defendant is a master
of a Norwegian bark. The plaintiff con
tracted for the sum of S2OO to tow the vessel
to sea, but, as the defendant alleges, the
hawser parted and the vessel was left about
twenty-four hours on a bank, where she
rocked and rolled to the imminent danger
of parting. The captain of the bark feeling
his peril offered the plaintiff the sum of
SIOOO to be towed to sea. This proposition
was accepted, and the plaintiff then com
menced the action for the recovery of that
sum, and on an action of quantum meriut
for salvage. When the facts were all sub
mitted to the jury the court instructed that
body that the first count in the declaration
for the recovery of SI,OOO on the contract
could not stand because it was illegal and
unconscientious having been made by the
captain of the The'assa under du
ress, SiC6nul7, that it was
no salvage service, and any such charge
would be outrageous. The court further
held that on the second count which was
on a quautum meruit, that if the jury found
that there was any negligence on the part
of the tow boat in putting the vessel to sea,
the plaintiff could not recover anything,
and that if the jury find that $205 had been
paid in advance '.for towing the boat to
sea and the tug had not fulfilled (Vs con
tract, the jury could take into consideration
totally or partially as an offset to the
amount any sum that the tug was en
titled to for pulling the vessel off the bar.
The jury retired aifo brought in a ver
dict for the defendant. Mess s Lester & Ra
venel appeared for plaintiff, and Captain
George A. Mercs'?, for defendant.

The Office of Deputy Collector of InUrnsl
Revenue Crowded.
The office of Mr. Jeff D. BuiiWuody, the
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue in the
Custom House was crowded all day yester
day bv applicants for licenses to sell liquors
and tobacco. The Collector and his assist
ant were kept as busy as they could possibly
be all day long. The licenses expired on
April 30th, and as the Government is very
rigid about these licenses the applicants
were eager to have them made out so that
they would come within the laws protection.
The schedule of licenses required a payment
of two hundred and fifty dollars for rectifiers
of over five hundred barrels; two hundred
dollars for less; one hundred dollars for a
wholesale dealer in liquor; fifty dollars tor a

BASE BALL.
Savannah >*, Aufrn«ta«—Two Well-Played
Games.
On Friday pf.ernoon the Augusta league
team played the first of a series of games
with the Savannahs. The former brought
down a strong nine, evidently with the pur
pose of beating the local club, and in this
respect, assisted by a bid blunder
on the part of the Savannah’s tenth man,
Burke, they succeeded quite well. The
only run made by the Savannahs was that
of Fisher. He was struck by Hofford and
took his base (n that. He stole second and
third, and came home on an error of Sex
smith. This was the only run scored by
i :he Savannahs during the game, although
several fine attempts were made to make
runs were tried. The game was short and
sharp, and up to the seventh inning was
one to nothing in favor of the Savannah o .
Tn this inning Burke, the centre field, let a
nail fi. in Hofford pass him, which brought
home Luff, who was given his first on called
bal.s. ih fford went to third and came home
on a fumble and bad throw. Tha* ended
the score during the game. The distin
guishing features of the game was the grand
stops and foul catch of Murray on third, and
the fielding < f Hofford in the last two in
nings. The Savannahs played without an
error, except that of Burke, which was a
costly one.
yesterday’s game.
The game yesterday was a good one, but
not as beautifully played as on Friday,
when it was played almost with
out an error, while yesterday there
were fourteen made. The pitching of Smith
and the catching of Graves were remarka
bly fine. Smith struck out 12 men and
t Dyed a perfect game thooughout. He was
most excellently supported by his catcher.
The playing of Murphy and Donohue, was
also very fine. Leary made a beautiful run
ning catch, for which be received proper
credit. The Augustas would heve been
shut out, except for the fumble of Murray
who somewhat marred by his error
an unspotted record. He is despite all
that one of the best third basemen in the
countiy. The game had many fine points
in it, and every chance was taken by the
Savannahs, with the exceptions of the errors
alluded to. The Augustas were outrlayed
in every point,and like ihe game of Friday
they did not earn a run. A large crowd
witnessed the gams and freely applauded
every good play made. The score stood seven
I to two in favor of Savannah, as follows :

GEORGIA MARBLE.
A Valuable Industry in the Empire State>
A Times reporter yesterday was per
mitted to see several specimens of native
marble from the quarry of Col. Tate, Pick
ens county. They were given to Mr. Ed T.
Harden, a representative to and an officer of
the Grand Lodge Knights of Honor, which
met in Marietta. When the Grand Lodge
adjourned local Lodge No. 178 tendered the
members of the Grand body an excursion to
the marble quarry. They went by rail on
the Marietta and North Georgia road, the
first narrow gauge railroad built in Georgia.
The trip was seventy miles through a beau
tiful country, and the conductor, Mr. T. W.
Glover, showed the excursionists the greatest
pcssible courtesies. They supped at the
famous barn of ex-Gov. Bullock, an immense
structure erected at an enormous expense.
On arriving at Jasper the party was per
mitted to view the mountains, which tow
ered away above them. On the return from
Jasper a halt was made at Tate, where the
party disembarked at the marble quarry of
Col. S. C. Tate, who, with the Superin
tendent, Mr. F. Dervar, tendered the party
all the courtesies that could be shown. At
the quarry all the process of cutting, sawing
and quarrying the marble, from its original
bed by the steam drills, were fully and
thoroughly exhibited and explained. Two
steam drills, working laterally and longi
tudinally, were cutting out blocks of marble
weighing ten tons each, while veins run
ning along the hill side, showing the purest
marble, were being worked by hand. The
slates or veins cut out were for mantels
and other purposes. In connection with the
foregoing there are works bein« erected at
Marietta to cost a million of dcllars. These
w< rks have the patent right for polishing
marble. They contract to polish nit
less than fifteen or more than twenty
tons of marble per day. The specimens
th t Mr. Harden has are magnificent ones,
and show the marble in ail stages from the
crude form to a paper weight in the high
est stage of the polisher’s art. The marble
is susceptible of the highest polish and th*
quarries are said to be perfectly inexhausti
ble. The Marietta and Norih Georg'a rail
road Will be extended to a point in North
Carolina to afford facilities for bringing the
marble to market. During the stay
cf the members of the Grand
. Lodge, the ladies of Marietta vied with
each other in extending courtesies, whils
the presence of MrsJ. C. Printup, of Rome,
wife of the Past Grand Dictator, and Mrs.
J. C. Porch, of Barnesville, were particu
larly attentive. ... .
■ The trip throughout both in reference
- to the work accomplished bv the Grand
s Lodge and the sights at the Marble quarry
, and at Marietta were much enjoyed, and
he members will pleasantly remember them.
