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. MACON MATTERS. A Counterfeiter Pleads Guilty—Death of an Ex-Aldermen.

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 Documents and papers of any description, signed by the President, are never allowed to be withdrawn under any circumstances, consequently these are accumulating in vast quantities and are rapidly filling the basement, attic and store rooms everywhere about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 Whenever, under the rules of the department, an application is withdrawn, we require a receipt from the applicant in person, and this is kept on file.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. ftOaeof the beauties of the Capital who be seen on the avenues frequently in ItS'illage cart, is Mrs H race Helyor, wife of the Secretary of the Bri'ish Legation, a blonde of the purest and fairest Saxon type She is a young woman, tall, slender, and graceful, and the pink and white of her perfect complexion is as delicate as an in fant's. She has a pretty mouth, dazzling teeth, and an aristocratic little nose, while with her blue e;es goes a mass of fair crinky hair, as bright as spun gol 1. With her perpect skin she can wear pearls by daylight, stand any kind of a cross light or r< fl action, and her favorite gray broad cloth suit only enhances her delicate color ing. Mrs. Kelyar is greatly admired 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. ’“Hunt’s Remedy is valuable and its bene fits are permanent.

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. Earlie. 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.

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. Boynton. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. ' Proceedings of Their Regular Monthly Meeting. 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 cost of boarding them amounted to three hundred and fifty-one dollars and thirty five cents, or a cost i f a fraction over ten cents a day each. Mary E. Russel], an applicant for aid, was allowed one dollar and fifty cents a month. Mary, DeLarge was granted an allowance. The case of Mary Haverty was referred to Commissioner Estill, that of William Horton to Rev. A. Harris, and that of Isaac David approved. The applications of L. L. Hover, to sell liquor at Montgomery, and John Cuiavitb, at No. 4 mile post on the Augusta road, were granted. There being no other business the Com missioners adjourned. Georgia State Dental Association. The second day’e meeting of the seven teenth annual convention of the Georgia State Dental Association was held this morning at rooms 13 and 14 Pulaski House. Dr. A. G. Bouton presided. Drs. J. A. Tignor, of Rome, and W. F. Tignor and J. M. Mason, of Columbus, appeared and reg istered. Dr. Parsons exhibited a variety of teeth, showing effects of diseases. Dr. W. L. Brown, of Atlanta, read a paper on cap ping nerves. This was discussed by Drs. Fogg, Holmes, White, Parsons, Hopps, Tignor, Adams, Smith and Whitaker. Drs. White, Smith, Fegg,Osborne, Caltch ings and Carpenter discussed the subject of filling. Dr. Tignor, of Columbus, read an inter esting paper on rubber industry. Dr. Parsons exhibited plates in celluloid and rubber. This was discussed by Drs. Brown, Lawrence and Catchings. Dr. Catchings read a valuable paper on dental literature. 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. Osborne and Catchings will be demonstra tors and operators. This afternoon some of the dentists will goon an excursion, while others will go to-morrow afteanoon. Savannah Yacht Club.
