London, May 22.—The Times says: “It
is impossible to deny that the prevalent feel
ing of anxiety and uncertainty is still grow
ing. From the scanty information given by
the ministers, it is evident that we are no
nearer to a satisfactory settlement than we
were at the beginning of the month. There
are no signs of an advance in the negotiations,
but on the contrary there are ominous evi
decnes of a standstill.”
THE MANITOBA BEBELS.
Surrenders Still Going On.
Battleford, N, AV. T., May 22—Pound
maker sent in a flag of truce last night along
with the captured teamsters, two women and
a priest to ask upon what terms he would be
allowed to surrender. Baptiste Fontaine,
the scout, supposed to have been killed a fort
night ago while, on a scouting expedition
under Constable Ross came in with
the released prisoners. He says
Poundmaker was badly “broken up” yes
day on hearing of Riel s surrender. The
Indians were terribly frightened and piled
their rifles in the tepee and hoisted an old
British flag which they had captured some
where. They then held a big council and
decided upon sending in a letter asking for
terms of surrender. There is great rejoicing
here over Poundmaker’s collapse.
A POPULAR EMBEZZLER.
Serves his Time in State Prison and Re
ceives Several Business Offers.
Joliet, 111., May 22 —Charles Angell
was released irom the Illinois penitentiary
May 20. He entered it in 1878 on a ten
year sentence for embezzeling $125,000
while Secretary of the Pullman Palace Car
Co. He had been captured in Lisbon after
traveling in many countries and $84,000
of the money was recovered. Angell’s per
sonal qualities made him hosts of friends,
and some of his admirers do not seem to
have lost their faith in him as he has had a
number of offers of positions with prominent
business houses in Chicago. He has acted
in the capacity of assistant to the keepers of
the prison, and is very popular in that in
stitution.
CURIOUS SENTENCE.
A Father Fined for Kissing His Daughter.

adopted by Mrs. Mann, and Morgan met
her yesterday for the first time in years
The girl, who is 15 years old, did not know
her father, and on his kissing her she push
ed him roughly away and complained to
Mrs. Mann, who caused his arrest for as
sault, and though he proved his identity in
court, he was fined.

Home—lnteresting Services—Dixie and
Yankee Doodle—A’Number of Promi
nent Ex-Confederates in the Pa
rade—The Home Received by
General Fitz Fee.
Richmond, Va., May 20.—T0-day being
Hollywood memorial day, the Confederate
Soldiers’ Home was dedicated to R. E. Lee
Camp, Confederate Veterans. Aaron Wilkes
Post G. A. R., of Trenton, N. J., who were
invited to participate in the dedicatory exer
cises of the Honae on account of the great in
terest they had manifested in the undertak
ing, arrived here last night with the com
mittee from Lee Camp who met them at
Fredericksburg, about three hundred strong.
The Richmond Grays, company A, and the
Walker Guard, company B, of the
First Virginia Regiment, escort
ed the visitors to their quarters at
Ford’s Hotel. Red lights, Roman candles,
and other pyrotechnics were displayed by
citizens along the route of march, while
the band which accompanied tbe post alter
nately played ‘Yankee Doodle’ and ‘Di»ie.’
These familiar tunes at litres created the
wildest enthusiasm. The procession formed
at one o’clock to-day on Broad street, be
tween Sixth and Seventh, in tbe follow
ing order ; Stuart Horse Guard, Captain
Allen ; squad of policemen, Captain
Parater, commanding; Drum Corps Lee
Camp, Gen. John R. Cooke, commanding;
Wipkler’s Band of thirty pieces; Aaron
Wilkes Post, G. A. R., Captain Beach, com

drawn by four horses, were seated Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, Gen. Peyton Wise, Col.
Archer Anderson and Rev. J. Wm. Jones.
Upon arrival at the Home, the front of
which was handsomely decorated with
United Stat’s flags, the command halted.
Gen. Cooke called the assemblage to order,
I when prayer was offered by the Rev. J.
Wm. Jones. Commander Cooke then in-
I traduced Col. Archer Anderson in a few
appropriate remarks, who formally turned
.over tbe Home to Gen. Fitz
bugli Lee, who accepted the trust on behalf
of the board of managers.
Alirge number of 1 dies and o'.her dis
tinguished invited guests were present to
lend a charm to the occasion. About four
o’tlock the procession took up the line of
march for Hollywood to participate in the
memorial exercises there under the aus
pices of the Hollywood Memorial Associa
tion. The home is situated in a beautiful
oak grove, on Grove road, about three
miles from the city. It embraces about
30 acres of ground. The new building is
fi acie, and about 50 feet 1 ng. The fi-st
floor is taken up by reception rooms, the
sleeping apartments being above. This,
with the other structure, will give accom
modations for about 50. There are at pres
ent 12 inmates of the home.
The Greeley Family.
[New York Cor. Cin. Enquirer ]
The death of Marguerite Cleveland re
moves the most gifted of the Greeley circle.
She was a niece of the famous editor, and
had rare musical talent. The Greeley plot
in Greenwood now contains the graves of
the editor and his wife, also their daughter
Ida, to which is now added that of Mar
guerite Cleveland. How things have
changed within a few years! While Greeley
was alive Chappaqua was kept lively with
visitors. Now, however, it is a place of soli
tude, and though Gabrielle retains the own
ership, it has lost all attractions as a resi
dence. Ida’s children, with their father
(Col. Nicholas Smith), and the entire circle
of which the Greeleys were the center, is
now scattered.
Greeley loved society, and the only reason
why he was not more social was because he
never had time. His life was an effort how
to get the most out of a day, and this ren
dered him curt to visitors, but he loved to
meet his friends, and if he could do no more
than shake hands and exchange a half dozen
words it seemed to do him good. Those who
visited him at Chappaqua on his Saturday
vacations were always warmly welcomed,
and when they left he stuffed their pockets
with apples which cost him $1 apiece, and
perhaps more. The fame of this place
eventually reached Faris, and when White
law Reid visited the French capital he found
in a collection of pictures a full length por
trait of Greeley as a farmer. Reid pur
chased the picture, which now adorns the
office of The Tribune.
Senator Vest, of Missouri.
[New York Graphic.)
There are very few really conspicuous
memories in public life at Washington.
Among the happy possessors of this treasure
are Bob Ingersoll and Senator Vest, of Mis
souri. With both it is a natural gift, culti
vated to a high pitch of perfection. The
two men are strikingly in contrast. Inger
soll, a man of easy, regular habits, perfect
and imposing physique, the very picture of
one who lives well, never worries, and thinks
to please himself first and the world last.
Vest, on the other hand, is variable in his
moods as an April sky, jubilant and the
prince of story-tellers one minute, gloomy
and speechless the next. A small, angular
shouldered, sunken-chested specimen of
humanity, wearing always a cynical look on
his pinched features. Only at odd times
does he arouse himself to some special occa
sion, and give the country a tost of his ora
torical quality.
He and Ingersoll have the same views on
religion, and both are throughly at home in
biblical lore. Mr. Vest, it is said, can recite
nearly the entire Bible from memory (though
he probably doesn’t devote five minutes in a
month to the theory of redemption), and his
mind, like Ingersoll’s, is a storehouse of illus
tration and quotation. Mr. Vest is also
famed in Missouri for his power of citing
precedents in court. They say he can give
the number of a page from memory, though
he has not seen it for years.

THE KOGERS SUNDAY-SCHOOL.
A Number of Correspondent’s Errors Cor
rected.
Rogers, Ga., May 20, 1885.
Editor Savannah Daily Times: As
a subscriber to and reader of your Times I
ask that you do me the kindness to furnish
me with the name and address of the person
who furnished you with the information
that a Sunday-School had been organized at
Rogers, as appears in your journal of Tues
day, May 19. It is quite evident that the
author of that piece was not familiar with
the history of the school, the date of or
ganization, nor the names of those who or
ganized it, and hence, I think it due the
school to have his errors corrected. If lam
right in my suspicion, the author was a
young gentleman from Savannah, who at
tended our school on last Sabbath, and en
joyed the company of our belles for an hour
or two and did not intend in any way to mis
represent our school in his short communica
tion.
Rogers Sabbath school was first organized
in April, 1883, and as is usual with country
Sabbath schools doses a few months through
the winter, and re-organizes again in spring
as soon as the weather becomes pleasant.
This school re organized March, 23, 1884,
and continued until the autumn winds be
came rather sharp, and adjourned until
April 26, 1885, when it was re-organized by
the neighborhood and not as stated by your
author on the 17th of May, by certain
worthy gentlemen and ladies. And, Mr.
Editor,we are not inclined to be selfish by any
means, and more especially in this noble
work, but we want what credit is justly due
us, and do not see why your correspondent
should say “Seme ladies and gentlemen of
Savannah” assisted in organizing this school
last Sunday, when it was organized nearly a
month before by the neighborhood. He
also stated that all who assisted were from
Emanuel. Here again he is at error as they
were all citizens of Rogers (Burke Co.) except
Rev. Mr. Flanders, who is the Methodist
minister for this circuit, and who kindly
made an appointment here and preaches for
us every third Sabbath afternoon. He is a
native of Emanuel, but does not reside there
now, neither was he present when the school
was reorganized. It may also be well tore
mind your author that Rogers is No 8$ and
not No. 8, as stated, as we would like to
meet him again at our Sunday schocl, and
‘if he “strikes the grit” at No. 8 it would be
necessary for him to pass the mulberry
grove at which he feasted last Sunday after
noon. Now, if I am wrong in my supposi
tion of the author, no names having been
written, no harm is done; and to all who can
attend our school at any time from city or
country, we bid you a hearty welcome.
Very Truly Yours,
Secretary Rogers S. S.
CHOLERA INOCULATION.
Minister Foster Visits the Affected Dis
tricts.
A special cable dispatch from Madrid
says: Minister Foster arrived here Satur
day, coming byway of Barcelona and Va
lencia, in order to see for himself the dis
trict supposed to be infected with cholera.
Mr. Foster found cases of mild choleraiv
disease, but could hear of few deaths from
this cause within the past few days, and he
felt more reassured, since his visit as to the
security of Spain in the coming summer
against a great epidemic breaking out.
Spanish medical papers continue to
devote much space to Dr. Ferran’s
system of inoculation and the honors be
stowed on him for his discovery. Several
thousand people have been, it is said, al
ready inoculated, without a single death
from cholera among those thus treated.
The case of two hospital patients who alone
refused inoculation, and who were after
wards the only persons in the hospital at>-
tacked and carried off by cholera, is quoted
by all the papers as greatly increasing the
confidence in the support given to Dr. Fer
ran’s work. It is understood that Senor
Castelar, who has always the interests of the
people at heart, will soon question the gov
ernment regarding the extent and mor
tality of the epidemic and cfficial measures
taken or to be taken to prevent its spread
ing. It is also probable that the Minister
of the Interior will appoint a commission of
eminent physicians to investigate the pres
ent condition if the epidemic, and also to
report on Dr. Ferran’s discoveries and the
chance of preventing in future cholera
epidemic by a general use of his system of
inoculation. A telegraphic report to the
Director of Hygiene of Madrid shows to day
a total of twelve new cases of alleged chol
era and seven deaths from all the infected
district.
The Methodist Excursion.
The excursion of the Sunday school con
nected with the Wesley Monumental
Church to Tybee yesterday was a success in
every particular. It,was well attended and
the trip to Tybee was not marred by an
unpleasant feature. The cars containing
the excursionists were whisked over the
steel rails by the “D. G. Purse” in an in
credibly short time, and with smoothness
and safety. The surf was in a proper con
dition for bathing, and many took advan
tage of it. Hundreds walked up and down
the beach and enjoyed the cooling breezes
and invigorating atmosphere. The trip
home was pleasant. The excursionists one
and all speak in the highest terms of the
manner in which everything was conducted.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE AT
LANTAS AND SAVANNAHS.
A Most Interesting Game If the Weather
I’erinits—The Atlamas Determined to
Win the League Pennant if They
can do go Fairly—Names of the
Two Nines—A Remarkable
Deaf Mute Pitcher.
The game to-day, if the weather permits,
will be a most interesting one. It will be
hotly contested in every feature and every
point will be taken advantage of. The
Atlantas have a good nine. They know
how to play ball and they have played it
so successfully that they are away ahead of
every club in the league. They are known
as kickers, and have such a reputation, but
the directors in the Atlanta Constitution of
yesterday say: “The directors of the At
lanta club have no interest in baseball com
parable with their fair playing and honest
sport. They have been determined from
the first game ever played here to insist
upon perfect fairness and square dealing.
1 hey have protested this all the time. Yes
terday they had the first chance to stand by
their protestations. That they acted promplly
and decisively, no one who was present can
deny. What they did yesterday is simply
evidence of what they will do whenever a
like occasion is presented. They are inter
ested in their club. They feel assured it is
the strongest and best club in the league.
They believe in the earnestness and zeal of
their players, and are proud of their skill
and will sustain them in everything they
can claim in fairness. They feel sure they
can win the pennant fairly and they will be
happy with it when they do. But if it
can’t be won without the slightest stain on
its folds or on their record as fair-minded
gentlemen they would be ashamed to see it
brought to Atlanta.”
The directors by this manifest a disposition
to see that all games played by the Atlantas
are conducted fairly and fairly won, if won at
all. In this they will receive the support
of all lovers of the national game. Fitzger
ald, the latest acquisition to the Savannahs,
is well known here and in base ball circles
everywhere. He started out as a profes
sional with the Manchester in 1878, play
ing right field. He then went to the Wor
cester club and played wi'h that organiza
tion. Then with the Staffords of Stafford
Springs, Conn., in 1879 80. Last spring Mr.
Goodsell,formerly of the Pulaski House saw
him playing in Newbergh, N. Y, and persu
aded him to come to Savannab.He played with
the Dixies of this city last year, and every
body knew him as one of the best men ever
seen on tbe diamond in Savannah. This
year he made an engagement with the
Columbus club and made a fine record. He
caught with them against the Cincinnati
Clippers, Chattanoogas, Atlantas, Mem
phis’ and Nashvilles. His release from
the Columbus club was secured a few days
ago. He made only one error in nine
games played in tbe championship series,
and that was when playing third base
against the Atlantas. He will play right
field to-morrow afternoon. Smith and
Graves will be the battery for the Savan
nahs to-day and Dundon and Mappes for
the Atlantas. The friends of the latter
club at home are betting two to one on this
club, while in Savannah all the bets they
or their friends can make are rapidly
taken.
The Atlantas arrived this morning and
registered at the Pulaski House. They will
play as follows: Cahill s. s.; Goldsby 1. f.;
Cleveland 3b.; Jevne c. f.; Henke lb.; Britti
man 2b'.; McVey r. f.; Mappes c.; Dundon p.
G. H. Schmelz, the manager, and A.
Bauer, a substitute, accompanied the club.
The following are the positions and play
ers of the Savannahs: Graves c.; Smith p.;
Ingraham lb.; Fisher 2b.; Murray 3b.; Cruso
s. s.; Butler 1. f.; Nicolls c. f.; Burke r. f.
Dundon, the pitcher of the Atlantas, who
will play tc-day, is a deaf mute. He is
a fine player. He kicks silently, and last
year was fined S2O for putting up his hands
in a deprecatory as well as a protesting
manner against the decisions of an umpire.
He does not disgust audiences by yelling
“how’s that?” or snarlishly ask “where do
you want them ?” but when he does kick he
does it unmistakably plain.
An Interesting Suit.
Sometime in the beginning of the pres
ent month, Mr. L. H. Williams, a respecta
ble citizen, the toll keeper of the lock on
the Ogeechee cansl, bad a cow stolen from
him. He knew the marks well and pro
ceeded to institute a rigid search and in
quiry and satisfied himself that Frank
Jones, Jas. Wright, Jas. Green, James and
Frank Anderson, green grocers
and butchers, in Savannah,
had either stolen the cow and killing it, sold
it in the city market, or had the theft com
mitted by others. He caused a warrant to
be issued by Magistrate Daniel F. Sheftall, of
the Pine Barren district, charging them with
larceny. They were arrested a day or two
ago and brought before the Magistrate, who
required them to give bonds for an examina
tion on Monday next. The accused will have
a hearing before the justice, snd their guilt
or innocence established. Several lawyers
from the city have been retained, and an in
teresting trial will be had. Frequent com
plaints have been made of parties stealing
cattle, but nothing was done as the thieves
so covered their tracks by obliterating ear
and hide marks, as to defy detection. The
trial that will take place on Wednesday
may or may not throw light on these thefts.
Artesian Well at Tybee.
Captain D. G. Purse yesterday consum
mated arrangements with the Mulligan
Brothers to sink an artesian well at Tybee.
The contract calls for a well to be dug 600
feet, if necessary. It will be located west
of the Ocean House, immediately across the
track. A neat pavilion will be erected over
the well. All the pipes, tubing and machinery
necessary for the work went down to-day on
the steamer St. Nicholas. The work of dig
ing will be commenced at once. This well
will be one of the greatest features of Tybee,
and will insure pure and sweet water.
S6OO A YE AR
ANOTHER VICTORY.
Savannah’s Team Captures the Honors at
Charleston.
In the Times of Wednesday appeared a
notice of the team selected by the Savannah
Rifle Association to enter the friendly con
test with the Charleston Rifle Association in
honor of their second anniversary on Thurs
day.
Our Charleston friends had a picked team
in the field, and prided themselves on a vic
tory. It was intimated that the Savannah
boys would have about all the fun they
wanted to get away with the Charleston
team. Well, judging from the result, our
boys had the fun. The contest took place
at the range of the association at half-past 2
o’clock in the afternoon, lasted three hours
and resulted as stated below:
The shooting by both teams was very
fair. The best individual score made in
the Savannah team was 43, which was
made by Messrs. J. P. White and D. Mc-
Alpin. The best shots in the Charleston
team were Messrs. J. H. Pieper, P. E.
Gleason and J. B. P. Alley, each of whom
made 41. The official score of each team is
as follows:

THE NEW IRON BRIDGE
To be Erected by the Central Railroad
Over the Ogeechee.
The Daily Times several weeks ago con
tained an account of the erection of a new
iron bridge across the Ogeechee canal at the
foot of Bryan street. The piling was sunk
and siding placed in [osition some time ago,
but the brick lase or the iron
superstructure were not done, as the
latter had to be manufactured in the North.
The iron part, however, is now being erected
under competent mechanics. It came on the
steamship Dessoug on her last trip and is
being arranged preparatory to [use. The
character of the work was fully described in
the Times when the contract was let out.
A Singular Find.
Parties coming into the city on the Mid
dle Ground road to day reported that they
found no less that six carcasses of cats and
dogs on the rcadside. In all probability
these defunct felines.and canines were laid
out summarilly by the aid of poison, as no
shooting was beaid in the vicinity and no
marks of bleed were ibserved tn the bodies.
The same casualities are noticed in the South
ern part of the city, as many valuable dogs
and cats have been poisoned in the past
month. What motive prompts persona to
wantonly kill these animals is not known,
but some day or other some one may be
caught at tbe act, and be severely and
legally dealt with.
Committed for Trial.
A female vagabond was arrested last eve
ning on Montgomery and Broughton
streets, by Policeman Rogers, and locked
up in the barracks. She was charged
with beating a child of Louis P Maggioni,
and with using ebreene and indecent lan
guage. She was arraigned in the Mayor’s
Court to-day and ren.ar.ded for trial in the
City Court. This woman is a regular
tramp, and has been run out of several
cities. She is known for the foulness of
her language, the flatternnessof her attire
and the dirtiness of her appearance.
Eecture To-Night.
If you wish to be thoroughly entertained,
do not fail to attend the lecture to be deliv
ered this evening by Hon. Gazaway Hart
ridge, for the benefit of the Chatham Artil
lery Centennial Fund, at Masonic Temple.
The subject is a unique one, and will be
treated in Mr. Hartridge’s peculiarly humor
ous style. That it will be a treat cannot be
doubted. There should be a large attend
ance. Tickets are only 50 cents. The lec
ture commences at 8 o’clock.
