Anxletv Over Ihe War Situation Increas iu4 In London—A Father Fined for Kissing His Daughter-ReleaseFroin Prison of a Popular Emhczzler— Proceedings in the Cluverlus Trial Miscellaneous Matters. 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. Montreal, Can , May 22—The right of a father to kiss his daughter is not often disputed, but for that offense a man named Morgan was yesterday fined $2 and costs. His daughter had some years ago been 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. AFTER THIRTEEN YEARS A Cx-ooKed Clerk Arrested on an Old Indictment. New York, May 22.—E. AV. Goddard, formerly clerk for Austin, Corbin & Co., bankers, and who ran away thirteen years ago with $12,000 of their money, was com mitted to the Tombs yesterday under an in dictment twelve years old. He has for some years been a respected business man of Min neapolis and his partner there is trying to get him out of his present trouble. The Mayor of Minneapolis and other prominent citizens of that place have also interested themselves in his behalf. Fatal Fight With Burglars. Burton, 0., May 22.—James Conners’ store was entered by four burglars early yesterday morning. In a fight with Conner, his son and clerk, one of the intruders was killed and the other badly wounded. All the thieves except Adams, escaped. Conner was fatally wounded. The thieves carried off nearly $3,000. The fight aroused the citi zens and a large crowd was soon on the spot but they were just too late to intercept the fugitives. Bloody Battle in M-xico. GuAYMAS, Mex., May 22 —Gen. Carb engaged Yaquis yesterday. A bloody battle ensued, and 57 Mexicans were kil'ed and many wounded. The troops captured Ya quis’ stronghold. The loss to Yaquis was not ascertained.

THE CLUVERIUS TRIAL. Testimony Educed This Morning. Richmond, Va, May 22.—The first wit ness examined this morning in the Cluver ius trial was W. A. James, a merchant.

Dilliard, night clerk at the Ameri can hotel, testified to seeing the prisoner at the hotel the evening of the 13th of March. He enquired if the ladv in No. 21 was in. He sent his card up, and was shown into the parlor. Wm. Tyler,night watchman at the Amer ican hotel, was called on the night of the 13th of March, to take his card to No. 21, which he did, at the same time showing the gentleman to the parlor. While there an old man and lady came in and the old man told the witness to show the lady to the room. He took her to No. 21, and the gen tleman in the parlor and the old man went out at the same time. The young man whom the wimess identified as the prisoner returned in a short time, when witness told him that the lady in 21 wanted to see him. He went to the parlor and the young lady came in and there he left them. Wm. Tucker, colored, a street car em ploye, testified to stopping the car for a lady and gentleman on the night of the 13th of March. The prisoner was the man.

ITS CELEBRATION AT RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, LAST WEDNESDAY. Dedication of the Confederate Soldiers* 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 manding; Phil Kearney Post, Sergeant Manning, commanding; Voelker’s Band, First Virginia Regiment, Col. Charles J. Anderson, commanding. Carriages brought up the i ear. In the first one, which was 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.

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. <•*.. Meeting of the Savannah Yacht Club. The Savannah Yacht Club had a meeting to-day at 12 m., at the office of Vice Com modore J. N. Johnson. The following new members were elected: H. R. Cohen, James Sullivan, W. W. Mackall, Jr., and K. R. Owen. No other business of any importance was transacted. “BOUGH ON BATS.” Clears out rats, mice, roaches, flies, ant oed-bugs, skunks,'chipmunks, gophers. 16 Druggists. 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: SAVANNAH TEAM, CAPT. J. W. M'ALPIN. J. W. McAlpin 5 53444433 3-38 C. Y. Richardson 3 44443533 4-37 B.

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.
