oiwmina!j VOL. 6.—NO. 115. ENGLAND-RUSSIA. NO ARBITRATOR BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES YET SELECTED. Believed That England is Disposed to Let the Question Rest —The Blame of the Kushk River Affair Placed on Sir I’eter Lumsden —He is Charged With Inciting the Afghans to a Conflict— His Recall on That Account. London, May o.—lt. is stated on semi* official authority to-night, that the King of Denmark, who it was generally believed Russia and England had agreed upon as ar bitrator in the question of who broke tne convention of March the 17th, as to the military movements on the Russo-Afghan frontier, has not yet been asked by either power to use his good offices in that ca pacity. In practical circles the opinion is freely expressed that the matter will never be submitted to arbitration, and that the government will publicly admit the aband onment of the scheme as soon as it can do so with any show of decency. It is even cur rently rumored to-night that the Cabinet Council to-day was held for the purpose of considering the advisability of letting the arbitration plan quietly lapse. The session lasted . two hours. Among the reports current js one to the effect that, after a long discussion of the ques tion, the Ministers agreed that it would be good policy to avoid arbitration Jest more serious complications might arise from Rus sia’s method of presenting her case. 'I he Central News correspondent at St. Petersburg telegraphs from that capital to-night that sonic sensational developments in regard to the fight in the Kushk river are promised The corres pondent says it is currently reported in military circles that sufficient evidence has been obtained to place the responsibility for the bloodshed in that engagement upon the head of England’s representative on the frontier, Sir Peter Lumsden. The story goes that Col. Zikijewski, the bearer of Gen. Komeroff’s dispatches with re gard to the affair, also brought with him several interpreted letters from Sir Peter to the officer in command of the Afghan forces inciting’him to provoke a conflict with the Russians in order to pre vent a peaceful settlement of the frontier question. The correspondent adds that copies o' Sir Peter’s letters were at once forwarded to Mr. Gladstone and that tneir receipt by him was the cause of Sir Peter Lumsden’s recall. DEPRESSING EFFECT OF THE UNCERTAINTY. London, May 9.—The continued-uncer tainty of the political aspect restricts busi ness on the Stock Exchange, and have a depressing effect on prices. Great anxiety is felt as to the result of the vote of credit which comes up in the House of Commons Monday, although it is unlikely that the Ministry will be defeated, especially if Lord Hartington’s statement of the Soudan policy proves satisfactory to the Liberals The current rumors of the resignation of Earl Dufferin arise from the inference that he disagrees with the government’s policy, and the fact that Dufferin accepted his position with the understanding that he was to take the full responsihil ty of the Government < fit da. It s rumored that the Russian despatch by courier, differs somewhat from the summary received by telegraph, but it is expected that the dis crepancy of the statement can easily be reconciled. It is estimated that almost half of the vote of credit has already been absorbed in the war preparations so far ordered, which are now too far advanced to be rescinded. The work of equipment for the Soudan, however, has almost ceased, the greatest effort being directed for the naval armament. FROM ATLANTA.

Man sell, the juror in the Short-Phelan case, spent last night in Ludlow street jail, where he is held on a charge of perjury. To a United States Press reporter he stated he was innocent of the charge. He explained that his visit to O’Donovan Russa’s office was for the purpose of making himself better acquainted with the diagram of the office. He did not know he was doing wrong in visiting the place. He never had any conversation with either Short or Joyce, as charged, and said he would not know one from the other if they were brought before him. He gave it as his opinion that Phelan weakened his case by the display of arms made by him during his examination on the witness stand. The dynamiters are indignant over the arrest of Juror Munsell, who served in the Short trial on a charge of perjury. Both .O’Donovan Rossa and Pat Joyce denounce Munsell’s arrest as an outrage. Joyce em phatically denies ever having any conver sation with Munsell during the trial of Short, and cha-acterized his arrest as a con temptible piece of spite on the part of Dis trict Attorney Martine.

R. last July was i concluded to day in the United States Court. Jones gets five years in the penitentiary, the 1 full extent of the law. Judge Speer took ‘ occasion to say that this crime against the 1 dignity and respect of this great Govern ment deserved severe punishment, and while 1 he regretted that his duty compelled him to t put such a sentence upon any citizen, he ini- . posed the full sentence in this case as it was I such an outrageous betrayal of the trust? be- I stowed upon this officer by the Government. The case will be appealed to the Circuit i Court on account of a few legal technical!- i ties. ' ♦ i Chief Clerk of the Interior Department.

Announcement is elsew here made of the en gagement at the Theatre, on Thursday night next, of the Bijou Opera Company. Among the members we notice the name of Miss AdiLide Randall, the charming little actress and vocalist who completely cap tured Savannah several seasons ago when she appeared with the Hess Opera Company. Noticing the performance of Gir< fle-Gircfla, in Jacksonville, the Herald says: Miss Adelaide Randall, the prima donna, has a voice of rareculture and is chic,and as “Girofle” and “Girofla” will not be excelled in Jacksonville. Miss Carrie Tutein, as “Aurrre,” rendered her part with that spirit that brought down the house, especially when the parental I Bolera nominated her for the Republican ticket and predicted that hecuuld carry the town. Miss Helen Harrington assayed a part provided but a short time before the curtain rose. Her rendition of “Pedro,” the lover, was good, and her acting was received with considerable favor. Mr. W. H. Hamilton, although not yet recovered frem his recent attack of illness, rendered “Mourzouk,” simon pure, and was greeted with applause. Mr. Hamilton is a favorite with the Jacksonville public. Mr. Harry Peper, the tenor, as “Maras quin,” was decidedly good. Mr. Paxton gives considerable thought to his part, and upon the whole the performance was such a? will always find an audience here. The people are always willing to see some thing good and the Bijou Opera Troup serves nothing else. The Thornwell Orphanage. There is perhaps no “country” institution in South Carolina so well known as this, and yet it is just about to celebrate the first de cade of its existence. It was begun on the small capital of fifty cents, the gift of an orphan boy, but from that original fifty cent piece it has grown until its buildings are now the most prominent mark in the land scape of the village of Clinton, South Caro lina, where the institution is located. In these ten years many orphans have enjoyed its fostering care, and a family of fifty is now sheltered beneath its roof. An ample farm of 125 acres furnishes all the firewood, pasturage, vegetables, and a part of the support. A large stone dwell ing—the first house erected, —contains the girls, and “Faith Cottage” a neat concrete building is the home of the boys. The school is domiciled in a handsome house recently erected at a cost of $5,000. There is also a solidly built house for the culinary and laundry work. Near by, a new cottage far another family of orphan boys is in pro cess of erect ion. The maintenance of this work exclusive of the buildings requires an annual outlay of about $3,500, and the mystery is as to where it comes from. As only poor child ren are received, there is no income from tuition or board—the large majority of the orphans are of too tender an age to be able to do much towards their own support. The older ones can do little more than to do all the cooking, washing, ironing, sewing, etc, for the establishment. This they do, and they do it with great regularity and cheer fulness. The President of the Institution tells us that “the Lord provides” for them, but the Lord uses means to do his work, and the means that the Lord uses in this case to do this work are the gifts of the Charitalle throughout the bounds of our country. A good idea—for each reader of these lines to sit down quietly and to forward a donation for the orphans to Wm. B. Bell, Esq., Clin ton, 8. C. “But John P. Robinson, he sez, they din’t know everythin’ down in Judee.” They certainly knew little, if they did not know that the safest, quickest and most pleasant cere for croup, bronchitis, cough, cold in the chest, etc., is Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. PERSONAL ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TWO REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS. Sensation in the Interior Department—The Gt neral Laud CominiKtdoner and a Special Agent of the Land Offica Have a Set-to—Warrant for As sault and Battery Issued— One of the Combatants at Oue Time Ejected from the White House. Washington, D. 0., May 9.—A sensa tion was produced in the I merior Depart ment this morning by a peisonal encounter between General Land Commissioner Sparks and Col. H»nry Deabna, special agent of 1 the Land Office at Carson City, Nevada. ' Commissioner Sparks grabbed the special 1 agent by the throat and ejected him from his office. Cel. Deabna struggled, but could i not free himself from the grasp cf the com missioner. Col. Deabna left the building in a rage, saying that he intended to get out a warrant for assault and battery against Mr. Sparks. Up to two o’clock the warrant had , ■ not been secured. Col. Deabna has been ’ here some time, and has frequently called on ! . Commissioner Sparks, asking that his ac- j counts be settled. Commissioner Sparks some I time ago suspended all actions on special , agents’ accounts as he desired to personally I inspect before passing upon them. The per- I ' sistence of Col. Deabna greatly annoyed the ! Commissioner, and when he called this j morning n Mr. Sparks could restrain his ; impatience no longer, and after some hot words, grasped Colonel Deabna with the result as stated. As Colonel Deabna passed j through the door he called out, "You are making ad—d fool of yourself.” Colonel j i Deabna says he expects to lose his place. Both Mr. Sparks and Ci lonel Deabna have . figured before in exciting scenes, Mr. j Sparks in the halls ot Congress and Colonel Deabna in the White House, where he soundly abased President Hayes, and was I put out by the police. As a sequel to the Sparks Deabna en counter this morning, a warrant was served ; on Commissioner Sparks this afternoon, charging him with assault and battery. The case will probably come up in the Pi lice Court on Monday. A number of wit- ! nesses, including Assistant Commissioner I j Harrison, the office boy, and the messen- ; gers at the door of Mr. Sparks’ room, besides several e'erks who witnessed the aflair, have been summoned to appear. The accounts, a demand for the settlement , of which originated the fracas, were the expenses of Cel. Deabna, for the months of i March and April. Special agents are paid i $1,200 per annum salary, and a per diem of $3 for the day’s actually occupied in the performance of their duty. For the month of March Co!. Deubna put in a bill for f 93. His reports made weekly did not show that he was attending to Government work dur ing til that period. The same state of facts were true "as to April, Colonel Deabna was called upon for an ex planation but he had not vouchsafed any, and the accountant office suspended pay- I I ment under direction from Commissioner i Sparks pending a comparison of his expense account with his weekly report. In lildi I tion to this account there were was anol her for traveling expenses. The law allows these, but requires vouchers for all sums I over one dollar. Certain bills I were presented, but there were I no vouchers accompanying them, and these, i too, were held up. Col. Deabna pleaded with the Commission that he had expended the I money from his salary and wanted imme- j diate reimbursements, as his family was in j need. It was at this point that the Commie- I sioner waxed warm and the encounter fal lowed. Juror Munsell, of the Short-Phelan case, was released in the sum of $5,000 to ap pear Monday for a hearing on the charge of perjury lodged against him by the offi cials of the District Attorney. After Many Days. Yesterday Constable Jce Symons arrested a colored man named Edward Ward, who, several weeks ago, inflicted an unusually heavy beating on i colored man named Cox. He managed to elude the vigilance of the officeis until yesterday, when he wasarrts ed on a warrant issued by Magistrate M. Frank Molina. The accused was remanded for his j appearance at the City Court to-morrow morning. Constable Adams several weeks ago was l given a warrant by Magistrate M. F. Mo lina to arrest a colored man named Ward, , for striking another colored man on the ‘ head with a brick. The accused managed i to hide himself so that the officer Muld not apprehend him. The Ocean Steamship police force was put on the track of the fugitive and yesterday they succeeded in j locating him when he went to draw his pay. He was pointed out to Constable Symons, who locked him up. Constalle Adams worked hard for the am st of the prisoner, tut the latter dodged him and foiled him at every step until the arrest of yesterday. A Grand Excursion to Florida. The eighth annual excursion of the Savan nah, Florida and Western and Charleston and ' Savannah Railway’s Employes Mutual Re lief Association will take place on the 23d of May. The excursion will beto Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Palatka, and will be under the management of the president of the asso ciation, Mr. F. Eugene Durbec, who has con siderable experience in such affairs, and its pleasurable success is therefore assured. The tickets for the round trip, good for five days, is only $3. This is the best opportunity to visit Florida that has been offered this sea son. Juvenile Base Ball Club. At a meeting of the E. T. V. and G- held last Friday evening, the following officers , were elected: T. Lovett, captain; J. Burns secretary; M. Hayes, treasurer; J. Bucklfy . and E. J. Reilly, field officers.

Stingin*, irritation, ictlamation, all Kid ney and Urinary Complaints, cured by B uchu-Paiba.” fl. S6OO A YE AR THE FFLUHER MURDER. A Mistrial in the O’Reilly Case—The Prisoner Admitted to Bail, j The jury in the case, State vs. James O’Reilly, were discharged yesterday morn ing from the further corsideration of the matter. When the court convened yester day morning, Hon. A. Pratt Adams, Judge of the Superior Court, called the jury into court and asked if there was any probability of their agreement, to which Mr. W. W. Rogers, the foreman, replied: “No proba bility whatever.” The Court then said i that it could not see any reason why an in i Ulligent body like the jury could accom plish by further detention, especially as they had given the case such consideration. He added that he regretted exceedingly the ' fact that the jury were compelled to submit to the hardships imposed by two night.s confinement in the Court House with in j adequate accommodations and lack of con veniences. He expressed the hope that the proper authorities would take action and make such improvements in the remodeling of the building for legitimate purposes, so that iurors would experience a little of home comforts when engaged in such ardu- I ous duties as were imposed on them. The Court then thanked the body for their intel ligent consideration of the case, and after a I juror had been withdrawn discharged them } for the term. Immediately after the jury were dis charged Cel. R. E. Lester and Capt. George IA. Mercer of counsel for defense, made a motion that defendant be admitted to bail. I Solicitor-General Dußignon said on the part of the State he had no objection to allowing him to be admitted to bail, pro viding the defendant be place ! under good bonds, as he intended to try the case early next term. Judge Adams reserved his de- I cision until 4 o’clock, when he fixed O’Reilly’s bond at $5,000, to be approved by the clerk of the court. The prisoner was then taken to jail as the bond was not given last night. Il may probably be given to morrow, as several friends of O’Reilly are j laboriously working to secure the necessary signatures for his relesse. JUDGE ERSKINE’S PORTRAIT. A Tribute of the Bar to an Upright J urist. ! Col. William Gairard received yesterday I by express the portrait of Mr. Justice John Erskine, late of the United States District Court for the Southern district of Georgia, mention of which has already been made in these columns. It was painted by L. M. D. Guillaume, of Washington, D. C., whose work stamps him as an artist of superior merit. The portrait is taken with the judicial robe on, and as a work of art and for perfect delineation of feature, it is superb. The portraiture is soft, exact, and bears a judicial look. The frame is an elegant and costly one, and is a splendid auxiliary to the portrait. It is now on exhibition at Col. Garrard’s office. A bar meeting will be held in the United States Court room on Thursday next, at , which time suitable resolutions will be drafted and proper speeches made by the i bar. Hon. Emory Speer will come down from Macon for the purpose of receiving the : portrait. The only other picture in the j c-urt room is ’.ha: of Mr. Justice Wayne, of ' the United States Supreme Court, and for merly Judge of this district. The bar is I now preparing a portrait cf Mr. Justice i Nicoll. It will be painted by the same i artist who executed Justice Erskine's, and will be taken from an eld daguerre- I type now in Colonel Garrard’s j possession. This will be sent on in a few days. This portrait of Justice Erskine is a splendid tribute to the bar, who desired to perpetuate the features of an able and up right Judge who presided during trouble some times in Georgia. He was not a par tisan in any sense, but was an unimpeachable jurist. It will doubtless be very gratifying to Justice Erskine, who is now in New York, to learn of the action of the bar in this matter. A DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT. luter-State Picnic at Charleston. On the 13th instant the Mutual aid Asso ciation of Charleston will give a grand imer-State entertainment in that city. The sports will be varied and interesting, and the Sportsman’s Association of the Carolinas and the Charleston Driving Park Associa tion will join the Mutual Aid Association in making the occasion a delightful one, I and pleasant and attractive to visitors. The ‘ various committees of arrangements, recep tion, etc., are composed of the very first gen tlemen of onr sister city, and Capt. F. W. Dawson, editor of the Charleston News and Courier will deliver the address of welcome. The prizes to be contested for are very handsome, and excellent and delightful music both on the lawn and in the dance hall will add to the many attractions.

The Chaileston and Sa vannah Road has agned to sell ticketßat 2 ■ cents per mile,each way, fromthelllh to the 16th instant. If they will reduce this to 2 cents a mile for the round trip, however, it w aid offer a great inducement to Savan nabians to go over to Charleston, and, we i believe, would find it more profitable.
