Wednesday to celebrate the Fri nee of Wales’
Slst birthday, which occurs Nov. 9.
The extensive fitting upof the apartments
in St. James palace which the queen has as
signed to the Duke of York suggests a con
clusion that he is soon to be married and
will occupy them with his bride. It is ex
pected that his betrothal will be announced
in January.
Prof. James Bryce, M. P., now right
honorable and member of Mr. Gladstone's
cabinet as chancellor of the duchy of Lan
caster, hns gone to Balmoral as minister in
attendance upon the queen. His old radi
cal friends are making merry over his uew
position, hut his undoubted ability makes
him a persona grata to her majesty.
John Kuskiu is the latest to be spoken of
in connection with the vacant laureateship.
Mr. Gladstone is known to admire his
writings greatly. Yet another to be men
tioned is Philip James Bailey, author of
"Festus,” who is held in certain circles to be
England’s greatest living poet. Both, how
•ver. are aged men and in feeble health.
MRS. LEADER WIbS HEI; SUIT.
The Jury Awards Her £SOO Damages
Against Mrs. Smyth.
London, Nov. 4. —The queen’s bench
division of her majesty’s high court of
justioe was again crowded to-day with an
aristocratic throng, all curious to hear the
conclusion of the celebrated Leader-Smyth
case, which was an action for damages for
slander brought by Mrs. Lieut. Leader
against Mrs. Maj. Gen. Gibbons
Smyth. The latter charged that Mrs.
leader, while on a visit to her bouse on
Sept. 21, 1891, stole a brooch
belonging to Mrs. Smyth, which the latter
declared she subsequently saw exposed for
sale iu a jeweler’s shop. Mrs. Suiyth pro
cured the brooch by threatening to take
legal action against the jeweler and then
wrote a letter to Mrs. Leader, who was in
India with her husband, accusing her of the
theft and statiug that if she desired to avoid
publicity she must send 5 guineas to cover
the cost of recovering the brooch.
MRS. LEADER SHOWS FIGHT.
Instead of replying to this letter Mrs.
Leader, as soon as possible after the receipt
thereof, instructed counsel to tiring Ait
tor damages for slander against Mrs.
Smyth. Mrs. Leader acknowledged selling
the brooch to the jeweler iu whose shop the
alleged stolen article was found, but de
clared that the brooch she sold was her
personal property, it having been given to
her by a friend, Capt. Frenah, as a wedding
gift.
To-day was the fourth day of the trial
and as the case progressed interest in it in
creased and late comers found it impossible
to get into the court room.
The jury brought in a verdict for £SOO
damages for the plaintiff and ordered Mrs.
Smyth to pay the costs.
The verdict was greeted with applause,
which the court immediately suppressed.
Friends of Mrs. leader crowded around her
and enthusiastically congratulated her.
She waited in the court room only long
enough to shake hands with her counsel,
after which, accompanied by her husband,
she quickly walked through the oorrldor
and entered a cab. A large crowd was
blooking the Strand and Mrs. Leader, when
she was recognised, was loudly cheered.
The police attempted to clear the street, but
their efforts were vain until after tars.
Leader had passed. Gen. and Mrs. Smyth
waited iu the court room until the specta
tors had dispersed. In the meantime they*
held a whispered consultation with their
triends. The verdict means, with costs and
additional damages, that the defendants
will have to pay at least £1,500.
PERIL OF THE HOWS.
The Vessel Not Floated Vet and Her
Fate Uncertain.
London, Nov. 4.—A dispatch from For
rol yesterday evening stated that the Brit
ish warship Howe, which stranded on Fer
rol bar, has been floated. This morning
private dispatches from Corunna say the
ship was not floated and assert that her
total loss is inevitable. The prow of the
Howe is completely submerged, while the
poop deck stands out of water. The vessel
is falling over on her starboard side and her
decks at such aa angle that her guns are
shifting against her starboard bulwarks.
The divers who examined the stranded ves
sel state that her keel was destroyed and it
will be impossible to repair her. The officers
and crew of the Howe have transferred
their elfects to the flagship Hoyal Sovereign.
The admiralty officials to-day informed a
representative of the Associated Press that
they received numerous telegrams during
the night from the offioers oi the Howe, but
none stated that the vessel had been floated.
They added that the efforts to get her off
would be continued, and* they hoped to
avert her loss, as her inner bottom has uot
been pierced by the rocks.
A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid
states that the Howe sank to-day. An
eminent Spanish engiueer, who la visiting
Ferrol, telegraphs that the aocident oc
curred through the Howe’s steering a mis
taken course in trying to keep away from
the Palma reef.

IRISH FUNDS IN PARIS.
The Bankers Unable to Part With the
Money With Safety.
London, Nov. 4.—Munro&Cox, bankers
of Paris, who have in their possession the
money known as the Paris fund, belonging
to the Irish parliamentary party, have
written Justin McCarthy that they have
consulted counsel in regard to release of the
funds, The counsel advises them that they
cannot part with the money unless author
ized to do so by the tribunal of tho Seine.
No compromise between the two sections of
tho Irish parliamentary party regarding
the disposition of the funds, they add, can
free them from responsibility. Months
may elapse before the tribunal of the Seine
gives a decision iu the matter.
Russia's New Iron-clad.
London, Nov. 4.—The St. Petersburg

BUTLER SURE OF VICTORY
CAROLINA'3 SENATOR TALKS ON
THE OUTLOOK.
All the Signs of the Campaign Point
to Democratic Success -Republican
Success Means Enactment of a Force
Bill and the Downfall of the Ropub
lie—The Third Party a Mistake.
Charleston, 8. C., Nov. 4.—Doited
States Senator Butler has been in Charles
ton several days taking part in the festiv
ities of the Gala week. He found time to
day to talk politics, and in an interview
said: “In my judgment Mr. Cleveland will
I e elected. I was in Washington last week,
und as a member of the national campaign
committee can say that all of the informa
tion points unmistakably to the success of
the democratic ticket. Of ouurt-e in all
popular elections there is an element of un
certainty, owiug to accidents that may
happen at any time prior to the depositing
of the ballotß, but a careful survey of the
political situation, north and west, has im
pressed me with a convictiou that the dem
ocracy will be triumphant at the approach
ing election. I have no doubt in the world
of the fidelity of Tammany Hall,
nor of the loyalty of Senator
Hill to the national democratic
ticket. One of the most significant signs of
the times is tne fact that gamblers are ail
willing to wager their money on the success
of the democratic ticket. They are pretty
good weathercocks, and generally lay their
wagers after careful investigation.
THE FORCE BILL.
“I think that the success of the repub
licans iu securing possession of all the de
partments of the government would un
questionably result in the passage of the
force bill, the result of which would be dis
astrous to the liberties of the people, not
only in the south but in the north and east
as well. It would be the beginning of the
end of constitutional government in this
country. The republicans have not aban
doned their fixed purpose to get coutrol of
the election machinery of the country
through congress, and they will never aban
don it as long ns their party is constituted
as at present. The force bill was passed by
the republican House under the operation of
a gag law, with a spirit of tyranny
aud domination never before known in the
history of the couutry. It was defeated in
the Senate by the democratic minority m a
parliamentary struggle suoh as has never
before been made, and which has never
been appreciated by the country. That
democratic minority was literally in a state
of seige for days and weeks and months,
not knowing at what moment it would be
overwhelmed by tyrannical aud unconstitu
tional parliamentary taotics. The bill was
defeated by the pluck aud courage and
adroit management of the democratic mi
nority, roiufureed by a handful of patriotic
republican senators, whosejservices should
never be forgotten. Yes, take my word
for it as one speaking with well considered
reflection on the subject, that whenever
the Republican party gets into power the
people of this country may make up
their minds to be confronted with
this terrible calamity of a force bill. They
are desperate and will go as far as they dat e
venture to retain power.
THE THIRD PARTY.
“Appreciating this ob I do I contemplate
with amazement aud surprise the aonduot
of some southern men, heretofore good and
true democrats, allying themselves with
what is know as the third party. The
triumph of tbe tnird party iu the south
means the defeat of congress aud also tbe
overthrow of white supremacy. It further
signifies the success of the Republican party
iu federal affairs. I should tbink. that if
these meu would reflect upon the conse
quences of their action they would cease to
bo aiders and abetters of the Republican
party, architects of the destruction of while
supremacy in the south and thereby the
lioerties of their own families and fellow
citizens. Thera is room iu the couutry for
only two parties—the Democratic party
and the party iu opposition. vVhoever or
whatever impairs the strength of the
former necessarily adds strength to the
latter."
THE SITUATION IN CAROLINA.
Speaking of the situation in this state,
Senator Butler said: ‘The state executive
committee appears to be very serene: they
have not called any meetiug or had any
speaking anywhere, and I assume that they
are satisfied with the situation. I feel
bound to say, however, thut I think it
would have been better to have had a can
vass in th& state for the national ticket. At
least, full discussion of national questions
would have been instructive and tended to
keep up the touch with our democratic
brethren in other sections of the union, but
I suppose the committee has some satisfac
tory reason for not providing fof a can
vass."
TILLMAN TALKS POLIIIOS.
He Thlnkß Cleveland’s Chances Are
Improving Daily.
Columbia, a C., Nov. 4.—Gov. Tillman
to-day consented to a short interview on
politics. In regard to the prospects of the
national democracy ho said that he thought
Mr. Cleveland s chances were growing
brighter every day. In his opimou he
would bo elected.
He said that the third party appeared to
have a good bold on the western states.
When asked about the alliance in this state
he said:
‘•I don’t think that the alliance is going to
vote the third party ticket. 1 believe that
the allianoeinen are going to staud by the
pledges taken at the primary except
in those counties where they have
never known what negro domination is.
Those alliancemen in North Carolina and
other places wno have never known what
negro domination is, are ready to bolt the
party, but I don’t believe that any consider
able number will do it any wav.
“The strength of the third party in this
state depends on how far men can persuade
themselves that they are uot bound by tneir
oaths taken in the democratic primary. I
don’t believe that they will get 5,000 votes
in the state."
AFTER HIS WIFE WITH A RAZOR.
A Drunken Negro Raising Cain at His
Home In Spalding County.
Griffin, Ga., Nov. 4.—Supt. J. H. Mar
tin of the Kincaid Manufacturing Com
pany telephoned Mayor Stewart to-night at
8 o’clock to seud a policeman out to the
mill to arrest James Worthan, who was
trying to kill his wife with a razor. The
mill is two miles from th- city, henoe out
side of police surveillance, and the mayor
c gildu’t comply with the request. Worthan
was in the city this afternoon aud in an in
toxicated condition. He had a difficulty
with his groceryman, who afterward we t
to the mills to make a delivery of goods,
and who says Worthan was cursing and
abusing his wife at the time ha got
there. Seeing him, Worthan pitched
into him and he came near having to use
his gun in self-defense. The rniil is so re
mote from tho city that it is impossible to
learn to-night whether any damage was
done by Worthan with his razor. The
sheriff was appealed to to go out ami arrest
him, as the police had no authority. Up to
this time nothing definite is known of the
affair, as telephone connections are cut off.

the House branch of the Gober investigat
ing committee to answer certain allegations
made against him by J. J. Maddox, father
of C. I). Maddox, who, with Hon. W. C.
Glenn, preferred the original charge against

quoting the ehurge of Mr. Maddox,

several friends. J. J. Maddox, who was stand*
iru' at the door, stopjied tne and shook hands. I
introduced my friends and we all went into the
store and talked. Mr. Maddox walked off to

Involved in it I said: “Since Judge Gober’s
re-election I don’t see that there is much in it
for your son, and if i was he I would drop out.
You know Mr. Mad !ox that your
son made a number of eouinios while at Canton
and some of these men might do something to
embarrass your son.’' Mr Maddox asked me
what excuse Judge Gober gave for what he did.
I told him that 1 had heard that Judge Gober
said the motion for anew trial was written too
close, that it left no room for corrections or
suggestions, and that he had his stenographer
to take several pages out and rewrite them. 1

faction under the coda as an alternative.
CLOSE OF THE FAIR.
Floyd County Carries Off the First
Prize and Talbot the necond.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 4.—The state fair
closed to-day, after one of the most suc
cessful fairs iu the history of the agricultu
ral sooiety. The county premiums were
awarded yesterday.
There was not a oountv exhibit that did
not possess merit, and those that did not
receive awards other than SIOO given each
county making an exhibit, have no cause
for feeling ashamed of their respective
oounties.
The first priae was awarded to Floyd
county. In nearly every point the Floyd
county exhibit was superior to the others,
and iu manufactures she excelled by far ail
others.
The second prize wa3 awarded to Talbot
county.
'i his oounty has always been reoognized as
the banner county of Southern and South
western Georgia, and some there were who
thought that Talbot would take off the first
prize.
This exhibit made, perhaps, the haud
romest appearfince of auy exhibit ou the
grounds, but as it was unable to compete
with Floyd in point of manufactures it was
given second place, which in itself is no
mean honor.
The third prize was aw ardod to Sumter
oounty, thus giving two prizes to the lower
section of thb state.
The competition between Sumter, Han
cock aud Bartow was very closo, and it was
only after the closes: and most miuute scru
tiny of every detail of those exhibits that
the prize was awarded to .Sumter.
Every county making an exhibit will re
ceive SIOO, w'hich will g i a long way tow
ard paying the oxi>e:iße3 of making the
exhibit, the railroads having given free
transportation toU county exhibits.
The premiums of the individual exhibits
were awarded as follows:
First prize to Miss Aunie Dennis of Talbot
county; second to Sir. McCormick of Bar
tow county; third to -Miss lloilie Rutherford
of Sumter couuty, and fourth to D. A. Shel
ton of Floyd county.

he seriously began reading the Bible and
was known to be deeply impressad with
certain portions of it. After two years

association, after which he rapidly grew
desperately wild. lie was then sent to the
state lunatic asylum, and in seven months

of mind. Last fall, only a few weeks before

j TRADE HOLDS UP WELL.
I THE ELECTION HAVING LESS
EFFECT THAN USUAL.
Enormous Trade Shows the Powerful
Impetus Toward Activity and Ex
pansion—The People Buying More
Goods Than Ever Before —Specula
tion Active Only In Cotton—The
Week's Failures.
New York, Nov. 4. —R. G. Dun St Co.’s
weekly review of trade says: “Even in the
last week before ibe presidential election
business has contii.ued very active, indeed,
the volume is far beyond any precedent for
a similar period, yet, the Burning election
has plainly diminished business in two ways.
The multitudes have been diverted
from trade to political activity
and many more ha ve chosen to postpone
transactions until the political uncertainty
has been removed. The fact that even un
der such circumstances trade has been of
enormous volume shows how powerful is
imuetos toward aeti lty and expansion. The
people are clearly bir. ink more goods that
ever before, and iu some branches
manufacturers are realizing a slight
advanoe in prices. Money is closer at some
western points, but nowhere is stringency
seen, and there is no apprehension as to the
immediate future. The sales of cotton have
amounted to more than 1.000. CW bales and
prices have advanced an eighth, for south
ern accounts appear to indicate a greater
decrea-e in yield and the receipts are again
comparatively small. Speculation u uot
very active, except in ootton.
REPORTS KR HI THU CITIES.
“At Philadelphia iron has an advancing
tendency.
‘ Trade is healthy and buoyant at Balti
more, though open weatbei retards some
branches and will lessen the oyster packing,
uow in full blast.
"PittsDurg notes activity in iron, espe
cially it finished products, and fair trade in
glass.
“At. St. Louis, though the weather
checks trade iu woolens and clothing, gro
ceries, boots aud shoes and dry goods gen
erally are strong, aud grain receipts heavy.
“At Louisville business is full average
and Memphis slightly improved, though
below normal in volume.
At New Orleans the labor trouble retards
trade, but cotton is higher and aotive,
and the receipts of sugar liberal with n good
demand.
“The iron business improves everwhere
and the unsold stocks are fast and sappearing.
I’ig is stronger, but bar is somewhat weak.
The demand for plates is only moderate,
but for structural iron very large; and
sheets are active, with especial pressure for
the lighter qualities. Western competition
depresses plates, but for the industry as a
whole, the tone has distinctly improved.
SALES OF WOOL.
"The sales of wool for the week have been
7,100,000 pounds, against 4,800,000 in the
same week last year, und since May 13 the
increase has been 37 per cent. The demand
for woolen goods is active for the season.
“Cotton goods are firmer and in some
lines higher xu price. The Fail Kiver mills
have voluntarily increased wages 7 per
cent.
“Boot and shoe factories are surprisingly
busy for the season, the suipmeuts for this
week exceeding last year’s 9 per cent.
“The advance in paper has been
maintained, though there is some feeling of
uncertainty. The Bauk of England made
no advance iu rates, and money here has
bean steady at 6 percent. The circulation
of all kinds increa ed $i0,000,000 in Ootober,
and is now over $1,608,000,000. This week
the treasury has nut out $600,000 more
notes while increasing its specie but $lO,-
000.
“Merchandiseexport* are improving, and
the excess of exports over imports is now
large. In general, nothing seems to fore
shadow monetary difficulty, ana with
colder weather and the political uncertainty
removed great business is anticipated.
"The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past week num

FLOWER DEMANDS HONESTY.
Law Officers of the State Warned to
Do Their Full Duty.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 4.—Gov. Flower
this afternoon issued a proclamation, say
ing : ‘‘l call upon the people of this state to
see that the eleotion in this commonwealth
is an honest one. The recent enactments by
the legislature have imposed almost every
possible safeguard around the sanctity of the
ballot. The honor of the state aud our love
for American institutions demand that
every citizen 6hould obey these laws and
look to their enforcement. The right
of challenge, exercised intelligently, pro
vides to every citizen a weapon of defense
against corruption and will greatly assist in
frightening dishonest voters from the polls.
1 call all election officers, all district attor
neys, all sheriffs and peace officers to see
that the laws of the state are rigidly en
forced to the end, that good order may pre
vail at the polls and the right of honest
franchise be sacredly guarded; and I give
warning that all failures on the part of such
public officers to discharge their duty in
complete on forcemeat of the laws shall be
considered sufficient cause for thoir re
moval.”

The Case Against Btreator and Haw
kins in the Jury’s Hands.
Pittsburg. Nov. 4.—The case against
Cols. Streator and Hawkins in the matter
of lams, was given to the jury this after
noon, and at a late nour they bad not ren
dered a verdict. In his charge to the jury
J udge Porter said: ‘ ‘Malice means reckless
disregard of the rights of another and need
not be proven in case of simple assault and
battery, where it is presumed. If Colt
Hawkins and Streator, in sl.aviog the bead
of larns and drumming him out
of camp, obeyed the orders of
a superior officer they cannot
be convicted of assault and battery. Your
verdict in a charge against Assistant
Surgeon Grimm must also be not guilty.
You must find Col. Hawkins not guilty of
aggravated assault and battery, unless it be
shown beyond reasonable doubt that he
was engaged in such au assa lt with malice.
Before you cau convict of assault and
battery you must believe that there has
been unlawful beating or bodily harm done
with malice.
“In case of aggravated aßsault and bat
tery the jury must be satisfied beyond rea
sonable doubt that the defendant suffered
grave bodily harm inflicted unlawfully and
with malice. Of malice and unlawful in
jury yo i must be satisfied beyond a reason
able doubt.”
The judge said it was the duty of the of
ficers to maintain proper discipline, and if
any feeling of insubordination arose it was
their right and duty to punish such offend
ers. If the officers believed it was necessary
to so punish lams in order to maintain dis
ci; line and good order they were justified
i:i so doing, but they cannot be held ac
countable in any civil court.
VENEZUELAN DIPLOMATS.
Dr. Buatomento the New Minister to
Washington.
New York, Nov. 4. —Several recently
appointed representatives of the new Ven
ezuelan government to this country arrived
here to-day on the steamer Venezuela.
Among these was Dr. H. Rivero Zealdivia,
who was physician to Gen. Crospo, chief of
the revolution sts, and now head of the pro
visional government. He accompanied the
geueral on all his campaigns and attended
to him while he was dangerously ill at La
Victoria.
The new minister to Washington has
been appointed. He is Dr. Francisco Bus
tomento, who was exiled from his couutry
and came to this city on bis way to Europe,
where he was ordered to go to Pelacio. Dr.
Rustomento was detained in Venezuela on
account of sickness in his family, but will
leave Laguayra Nov. 9 on the steamer
Philadelphia. Dr. Bustomento was one of
the congress which refused to recoguize
Piiacia, when he usurped the presidency.
He was thrown into prison in Caracas with
a numberof others and then exiled.
Dr. Zealdivia said peace had been restored
to almost all the provinces of his country.
The revolution was successful everywhere.
The only point of disturbance when he left
was in the state of Los Andes. Tbe last
remnant of the old government had taken
its stand there. The week before the Ven
ezuelan sailed Gen. Crespn sent Gen. Guena
with 10,DUO men to Los Andes to suppress
the malcontents and capture any who re
tain arms against the uew order of things.
On Oct. 28 a great feast was held at
Caracas iu celebration of tne restoration of
peace and to honor Gen. Crespo. It was
the first feast since the outbreak of the war
and was attended with great rejoicing.

This Country’s Refusal to Protect the
Gilbert islands.
Washington, Nov. 4.— The department
of state has received notice that the Gilbert
Islands, lying in the Pacific ocean under the
equator, have been placed under the pro
tection of Great Britain. A decree an
nouncing the protectorate was promulgated
at Apamamma on May 27 last. About that
and te Toburcimoa, King of Butaritari, one
of the Gilbert islands, was In San Francisco,
at which place he addressed a most
earnest appeal to the department of s ate
for protection of his kingdom against Great
Britain and for the establishment of an
American protectorate over it. The action
of Great Britain was in pursuauce‘of u well
defined colonization system agreed upon by
that nation and Germany, looking to a
division between them of the unannexeii
island groups of Polynesia. With the
operation of this plan the United States has
steadfastly declined to interfere, and the
kiug’s petition for protection was rejected.

IT IH ELEVATING
TO BE A FREE HOLDER.
It lends dignity to one’s feelings for him to
know that he has taken the last degree of citi
zenship und owns a part of the earth.
Such a man, when he sallies forth the next
day after his purchase, imagines that the sun
shines brighter, the trees are more beautiful,
all nature seems to have been formed for hie
special enjoyment.
He feels something akin to piety for tnose
poor creatures who are living in rented houses,
although they may pay a hundred a month for
them.
He looks patronizingly upon some embryo
politician, bent, as it were, with the weight of
his ward nomination, but yet who didn't bold
a bond for title for a suburban lot.
Our free holder begins at once to take more
interest in government, and iu who is to form
the taxing power. He may be surprised, it is
true, to find such an anomaly as non realty
owners enacting the tax laws, Yet that fact
alone will set him to desiring a reform, and right
then he has become a better citizen.
