Among English Residents in
Egypt—A Fatal Shooting
Afl ray Miscellaneous
News Items.
Selma, Ala., May 13.—The lynching of
Scipio Atkinson, who had threatened to
raise an insurrection against the whites, is
causing great excitement near Calera. Two
other negroes have disappeared, and it is
reported that they also have been
lynched. Three hundred white men are
said to have formed a vigilance committee
to suppress insurrection, and all the men in
the county are under arms. Reports are
meagre, and it is not actually known how
many negroes have been killed.
THE DOLPHIN
Meets With Another Accident on Her
Second Trial.
New York, May 13.—The dispatch
boat Dolphin, built for the Government by
John Roach, and whose shaft broke on her
first trial, was run on the Sound last even
ing for another test. After one and three
quarters hours steaming at full speed, her
crank pin became overheated, making itneces
sary to stop 5 hours for repairs. She then
returned slowly to the city. The board of
inspectors appointed by Secretary*VVhitney
were on the vessel, as was also Mr. Roach.
The latter gentleman claims that the acci
dent was such as might happen to any steam
ship at any time and was unavoidable. He
said there would be another trial in a few
days.

Defeat of the Rebels and Capture of
Betouche.
Winnipeg, May 13. —News has just been
received of the capture of Batouche. The
place was carried Monday, the rebels hav
ing been driven from their pits and
entrenchments at the point of the
bayonet. A gallant charge was
made by the Royal Grenadiers who be
haved admirably, and did their work with
out flinching. Riel sent a messenger to
Gen. Middleton early in the day saying:
“If you persist in firing upon houses con
taining our women and children we shall
massacre the prisoners in our hands.” Gen.
Middleton sent a reply telling him to
gather his women and children into one
house, and it would not be fired upon. Later
Riel sent an answer thanking Middleton for
the humane promise to save the women and
children, but just as a general attack was
commenced he sent another messen
ger to say that he did not like
war and unless the troops retired,
his original intention of massacring the
prisoners would be adhered to. It came too
late. The charge had already commenced,
and in a few minutes the rebels were scat
tered and the prisoners rescued.

THE FEDERAL CAPITAL
SOMETHING ABOUT APPLICATIONS
FOR FEDERAL OFFICES.
Tons Upon Tons of Detitions, Recommen
dations and Lettei-s Accumulated Dur
ing Republican Administrations —
Applications Still Pouring in-
Secretary Lamar Filling Va
cancies in ■ tile Interior
Department—A Bril
liant Beauty.
Special Dispatch to the Daily Times.
Washington, May 13.—“ Applications
for office ! ” ejaculated Capt. Hussler, chief
of the appointment division of the Interior
Department to-day. “Well, when I took
held of this office a couple of months ago,
we cleared out the pigeon-holes and sent
down to the basement storage room tons
upon tons of petitions, recommendations and
letters relating to applicants for office,which
had accumulated during many Republican
odministrations. The government never
destroys papers of this character, and only
unsuccessful applicants are allowed to with
draw their papers. Documents and papers
of any description, signed by the President,
are never allowed to be withdrawn under
any circumstances, consequently these are
accumulating in vast quantities and are
rapidly filling the basement, attic and store
rooms everywhere about this immense
building. Some provisions will soon have
to be made by Congress to store the mass of
antiquated documents. Whenever, under
the rules of the department, an application
is withdrawn, we require a receipt from the
applicant in person, and this is kept on file.
The number of Democratic applications for
appointment to office in this department ag
gregates many thousands since the change
of administration, and our clerks have not
yet been able to examine and file all of
them, but we may be able to catch up dur
ing the summer by working at night. Ap
plications continue to pour in every day by
the bushel, and clerks are kept very busy
assorting and arranging them by States.
Complaints and charges are also received in
great numbers-”
It is believed that Secretary Lunar will
next week take up and dispose of several
hundred apt lications, and it is probable
that many appointments of Indian agents,
hnd receivers, registers, and inspectors, pen
sion agents, clerks and other offices in this
department will be made. There are now
about 200 vacancies caused by removals, re
s’gnati n, expirations of commissions and
by death. It is discovered that hundreds
< f Republican officials have held office con
tinuously under this department for from 15
to 20 years, and many of these incumbents
are incapacitated by reason of old age and
broken down health. The marine cDrks
are nearly a'l protected by the civil ser
vice rules, but there seems to be no general
disposition to turn out the women, or “lady
clerks” asthey call themselves.
General Bryant, assistant Attorney Gen
eral for the post office department, has ren
dered a decision that an ex-Marshal of the
United States cannot lawfu’ly make .use of
the “penalty envelopes” even in his official
correspondence in closing up his business.
By law, Marshals are allowed several months
after being superceded, in which to serve
papers and perform certain official duties
in order to properly close up the business j
in hand at the time of their retirement, but I
in transacting this closing business, General 1
Bryant decides that the ex-Marshals must
pay their postage like ordinary citizens.
The decision was made in the case of ex-
Marsbal Keogh, of North Carolina, but it
ap| lies equally to all retiring officials of
that class.

The Suicide of J. W. Raymond in New
York.
A telegram was received last night from
New York in which it was briefly stated that
a man named J. W. Raymond, formerly of
this city, committed suicide at No. 33 Ma--
ket street, in that city. Mr. Raymond was
in Savannah about a month ago, the guest
of Mr. A. M. West, the grocer on Whitaker
and Liberty streets. The deceased labored
under great mental depression on account of
the death of his parents by drowning in the
Ohio freshet last winter. He went on about
Christmas and learned the startling infor
mation. He was completely prostrated by
the announcement, and his reason was par
tially dethroned by the startling facts. Dur
ing his stay in Savannah deceased was ex
tended the most unbounded courtesies by
Mr. West, who took great interest in him.
and visited .with him the suburban resorts
and various places about the city. Death
in this instance was not attributed to
the facts alluded to in the tele
gram, but from the great mental depression
produced‘by the terrible death of the par
ents of the deceased. Mr. Raymond was a
quiet, unassuming gentleman of courteous
deportment and attractive manners.

WESTERN PRODUCE.
Markets Excited and Strong—Bears Mad ;
and Growling.
Special Correspondence Daily Times.
Chicago, May 11.—Speculative markets |
on ’Change continue excited and strong,
and some of the big bears are growling that
“Providence or the other fellow must cer
tainly be on the bull side. Crop reports are
the worst yet, and the raw, unseasonable
weather appeals to make many doubtful
whether there will be any harvest at all.
Some of the 1 irgest “-horts” have stampeded
and the outside, in response to the bullish
telegrams sent out by brokers, show a dis
position to take hold in real good earnest
and buy for “keeps.” Then, to clinch it all,
a little gust of war news was brought in
from New York, together with a large line
of purchasing orders, and although frequent
sags are caused by the realizing of room
traders, they are quickly recovered, and
holders generally show more confidence I
than at any time since the war flurry. *
Baker, Bliss, Holbrook, Crittenden, Eld- i
redge and Jones are prominent buyers, the
last two supposably on “shoit” account.
Crop damage now seems to be an admitted
fact; the only question is the amount of
shortage and on this the market is likely to
depend for the near future. A poor crop,
too, is always more liable to the calamities
attending the late stages of maturity.
Latest reports put the California crop at
30,000,000 bushels, when it was supposed it
would be the largest ever grown on the
Pacific slope. Mr. Simms, Secretary of Agri
culture for Kansas, now estimates the yield
of that State at 45 per cent of last year’s
harvest, and Mr. Sanborn, Secretary of Mis
souri, says the crops there under favorable
conditions hereafter will be only about
13,000,000, or hardly enough for the home
consumption of the State. 'The market has
recovered “on its merits” about all that was
lost on “peace news,” present prices being
very near those ruling when the war ex
citement was hottest and $1 wheat is now
freely talked before the end of the week.
The bears on the other hand claim that
the bull arguments have been worked lor |
all they are worth, that although a great j
deal of grain has been bought it has been
| largely in small parcels, and that a tumble
j is now In order.
> George Hannill says to night : “Values
have been carried up on the swell at a sud
den rush in speculation, but unless the con
sumptive demand materially increases 1
have no idea they can be maintained, even
for a short time. The foreign demand is
only nominal, aud no sudden increase is
probable in view of the full supplies now on
passage. There are fully 36,000,000 bushels
of wheat in warehouses between lake points
and the Missouri river. This can hardly
be carried into another crop without prov
ing an offset to any anticipated scarcity.”
Charlie Schwartz, who is reported to have
lost heavily on the bulge, when asked his
opinion, contented himself with remarking:
“June is rarely a comfortable month for
holders. Warm weather in Chicago sel
dom failsjto make dealers here forget the
dangers apprehended earlier in the seassn.”
Corn is a little sluggish now, but appears
to be creeping skyward, and those who have
the grain are as a general tring inclined to
hold on to it, and but few are willing to sell
“short.” Cash corn still sells considerably
above June,aud thereareonly about 1,000,000
bushels left in store here. Warren & Wor
thington are investing quite heavily in the
I June option, and Lester is still a free buyer,
i but it appears all the same to him whether
I he gels June or July. Receivers are scarce- .
ly likely to store grain and carry it until
June 2, when they can get more money for
it “cash” and this together with the restor
ation of rates on Western railroad increas
ing the cost of getting the stuff to market
will have a strong tendency to make corn
good property.
Hog products are firm in sympathy with
grain, but the trade shows no life and the 1
pit the pit is deserted a large part of the
time.

MRS. VANDERBLT’S DEATH.
Her Wedding With the Commodore Re
called—How Her Widowhood Was
Passed.
I
New York Letter In the Buffalo Courier.
Much less notice has been given by the <
papers to the death of Mrs. Vanderbilt than <
was given to her marriage to the Commo- <
dore sixteen years ago. The event sent (
journalistic pens going all over the country <
and also gave acWve employment to the scis
sors. The marriage took place in Canada and j
was understood not to have
the approval of the Commo
dore’s family. The bride was then very •
beautiful, about 30 years old and had been
some time divorced from her first husband, ,
John Elliott, of Mobile. But whether the ,
marriage was distasteful to the Commodore’s ,
family or not, Mrs. Vanderbilt made a good
wife until she became a widow, less than >
eight years later. An agreement was made ,
before the marriage providing that at the
Commodore’s death his widow should re
ceive $500,000, in lieu of a dower. She
received the $500,000 in government bonds, <
and the Commodore also left her his
house near Washington Square, wheie
he had lived a number of years. ,
She continued living there herself, and j
did not show any desire to get into a
fashionable up-town neighborhood, like
other members of the family. Her life in
the old house was a quiet one. She did not
spend much of her time in society nor
trouble herself particularly about other
people’s affairs. Her home being in an old
fashioned quarter she was not run down by
visitors, but she had calls enough to make
the time pass pleasantly, and most of the
callers were actual friends, who were sure
of a cordial welcome. She exchanged oc
casional visits with theup-town branches of
the family and was on agreeable terms with
all of them. William H. Vanderbilt liked
her from the beginning and showed a friend
ly feeling toward her on many occasions.

THE N. 0. EXPOSITION
W FINANCIAL FAILURE TO THE
| ASSOCIATION AND EXHIBITORS.
I The Causes Which Led to this Result—The
Localion of the Exhibit a Mislake—
" General Business Stagnation and
One-Mule Street Cars do Their
Parts Toward Preventing Its
Success—Benefits it will
Confer on the South.
Special Correspondence Daily Times.
New Orleans, La., May 11, 1885.—The
great Exposition is drawing to a close, and
exhibitors, with all others who have been
connected closely with it for months, will
be glad when the curtain is rung down.
As a financial failure, both to the association
and exhibitors, this enterprise must be
awarded the grand medal over all its pre
, decessors, although its importance and
\ grandeur have deserved a better fate. But,
I while the government and exhibitors and
( many others will have derived no immediate
returns from it, the former will have been
strengthened in the affections of all good
citizens, both by reason of its splendid ex
hibits and of its generous liberality in
supporting the fair, coming to its relief
especially, when but for the second appro
priation there would have been a fatal col
lapse and failure altogether; the latter, or
exhibitors, will have so advertised their
products as to reasonably expect future re
turns, and the whole country will be bene
fitted by the impetus given to Southern
development and industries.
Several causes have led to the financial
failure alluded to. In the first place the
location is remote from the populous cen
tres of the country, which, toge’her with
the severity of the past winter in the North
and the general business stagnation, kept
many people at home, either because unable
to assume the expense, or loth to risk the
discomforts necessarily attending a distant
journey. Then the Exposition was opened
before it was nearly complete, and thous
! ands coming were compelled to go home
i without having seen theshow. This exaspe
rated them,and their unfavorable reports de
terred other thousands from making the
visit, and as a matter of fact it was not
until some time in February that the
fair was considered finished, the Art
Gallery being thrown open to the public.
But perhaps the one single thing that
operated most disastrously against the Ex
position was the utter lack of rapid and
comfortable transportation to and from the
grounds. People were jammed and crowded
into one-mule Street cars, thousands daily
being compelled to stand up during a slow
trip of five or six miles, the roadways being
often blockaded for hours by mired wagons
or carts, while it oftener happened that
thousands were delayed for hours before
they could get into the cars at all. This
one fact and the others mentioned doubt
less kept ac many as half a million people
from making a visit to the Exhibition,
which in itself was worthy of all
the good things said of it. We were prom
ised steam car transportation at an early
day; the city council promptly granted the
right of way, the city papers announced,
with a great flourish, that a steam line
would be tt'dy, but for some inscrutable
reason it been built, probably
owing to street car line corporalion influ
ence, with which the people of this city are
cursed. There is some talk of re-opening
the fair next autumn, but unless transpor
tation to and from the grounds, better than
abominable one-mule cars, be provided, a
worse failure would follow, as people will
not suffer themselves to be imposed upon a
second time.

The regular monthly meeting of the
County Commissioners was held to day.
There were present Commiss’oners R. D.
Walker, Chairman; C. C. Casey, W. £• ,
Lawton, J. H. Estill and Chas. H. Dorsett.
Bills to the amount of $4,009 15 were
audited and passed for payment.
The resignation of Mr. A. Goebel as i
chief of the convict guard, was read and ac- '
cepted. The resignation will take effect June <
Ist. This was in consequence of a notice 1
of the Board that the salary would be re- i
duced on and after June Ist, from one hun- l
dred to sixty ddlars per montha. <
The proposition of Messrs Palmer Bros, i
regarding scales for county purposes, was
referred to Commissioners Lawton and
Dorsett, with power to act.
The general presentments of the Grand
Jury for the March term were referred to
Commissioners Lawton and Estill.
Charles Barker, who lives at East Savan
nah reported that he took up an estray far
row cow with marks on the same. The mat
ter was referred to the chairman.
Augustus W. Corker made application to
be appointed Magistrate of the Fourth dis
trict. The papers were laid on the table.
In the matter of reopening the old mili
rary road presented by Road Commissioner
Bourquin it was ordered that the Commis
sioner be required to obtain all the informa
tion possible as to the true status of the
road as a public highway, and present the
same with such other evidence as he may
have to the Board.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the number of
beneficiaries of the Court are rapidly increas
ing, necessitating the annual expenditure of
a large sum of money toward their mainte
nance, that the Board investigate at once the
matter as to the wisest manner of using the
funds thus appropriated; that careful inquiry
be made into the practicability of organizing
a country house or farm for the poor, similar
to those mentioned in other counties. Re
ferred to Commissioners Dorsett and Walker
for examinat ion and report.
Resolved, That with a view to enhancing
the value of lands in this county by render
ing them more accessible, and to the securing
to its citizens their rights in this
regard, that this Board take imme
diate steps to ascertain, first, what
roads originally dedicated to the
public are now closed; second, what steps
should be taken to Dave such roads re-
S6OO A YEAR
opened, and, third, whether or not the
necessities of the public require that addi
tional roads or bridges should be opened
; and the location of such. Referred to Com
missioners Dorsett and Estill.
Resolved, That the clerk be directed to
draw his warrant on the County Treasurer
> for the sum of S3OO, for account of county
poor for the month of June, 1885.
Resolved, That the Clerk be authorized
and directed to draw his warrant on the
County Treasurer for the sum of $5,000 in
favor of John Williams, Treasurer Board of
Public Education, being balance in full of
appropriations for public schools for the
year 1884.
Mr. Isaac Beckett, in accordance with a
resolution passed by the Board of County
Commissioners, reported that he has em«
ployed an additional force of three compe
tent clerks to aid him in preparing a list of
taxable property of the county with the
names of the owners thereof, the expenses
not to exceed five hundred dollars. This
entails an outlay of money which he is not
able to meet, and he respectfully requests
that the Board furnish him at the end of
each month with a sum of money equal to
the pay roll of the clerks as part pay
ment for the work being performed,
the amount being one hundred and forty
five dollars per month.
Referred to Commissioners Dorsett and
Estill, with power to act.
Cyrus Cuthbut, living at Kingsville, re
ported that on the night of the 31st ult., a
girl child, one day old, was left on his door
step, and that he is willing to adopt the
child, but asks for county aid, as he has a
house and lot and is a carpenter. The
matter was laid on the table.
The Board made a caustic reply to the
strictures placed upon them by the late
Grand Jury in regard to the condition of
the jail and court house.
The report of the convict camp shows an
average monthly attendance of one hundred
and seven prisoners. Thirty were discharged
last month, and two escaped. The monthly

Dr. Coyle read a resolution that
the association appropriate the sum of
SSO from its treasury to pay for the prosecu 1
tion of parties who practiced dentistry with
out first having passed an examination and
obtaining a diploma. He supplemented it
by telling how a young man was
recommended by a dean of an institution
is a competent surgeon dentist, how he was
examined by Dr. Coyle and others and
found incompetent, and how the dean gol
incensed when Dr. Coyle mentioned the
fact to him in New Oileans, saying that the
charter of the Louisiana State Dental As
sociation would be revoked. Dr. Coyle
brought the matter up so that the Dental
Association would not be brought
into disrepute by having Charletans,
quacks and incompetent people who would
villify and bring disrepute on the good work
of the society. Dr. Lawrence and Dr.
Catchings discussed this subject and the lat
ter made an amendment to the resolution
that an individual assessment of
one dollar per annum be made if
the necessity arose aside from the appro
priatkn. Some discussion was had as to the
prudence or wisdom of publishing the mat
ter in the daily papers, but as the matter
was eventually left to the discretion of the
reporters present, it was considered as well
to publish the fact, as the papers are as
anxious to suppress charletans, quacks
and frauds as the dentists are. There being
no other business the Convention ad
journed until to-morrow morning at 9
o’clock.
This afternoon clinics will be held at the
office of Drs. Bouton and White. Drs.
