BY stopping at Fulton. lose large part Of

reach their highest efficiency they must
rome into the city. They are already
on the Pike, and from present indications
are likely to remain there as long aB the
company desires to keep them there. We
may as well get out Of them all that We

and Leave Him Unconscious.
MACON, GA, August 30.-Dr. Haygood'a
recent utterances on the negro question
and several horrible crimes recently per.
petrated by colored desperadoes, have in
famed Georgia's anti-negro element to
more than ante-bellum bitterness. The
effect OF several intensely denunciatory
criticisms by the Georgia press on Dr..
Haygood's utterances has just been most
Fbrutally illustrated. Solomon Coleman,
colerso, contracted with George NJ. Bull,
OF Twiggs coupty,-a farmer living near
Macon, 10 dig ditch for sl25. Coleman
engsged several colored laborers to do the
work, agreeing to pay them 81 day.
A few nights ago q band Of fifteen or
twenty masked men aroused Coleman at
midnight and marched him into clump
OF trees quarter Of q mile distant. There
they stripped him to his feet, tied bis
hands, and putting them between his
knees ran stick through them, so that he
was kept in astooping position. Taking q
heavy buggy whip they then administered
nearly three hundred lashes on his bare
skin and after torturing him for an hour or
more left him lying bleeding and senseless
on the bare ground, Coleman finally
cravled to Macon and reported the case
to the police. Hesays the only reason for
his maltreatment was because the farmers
were incensed because he promised the
negro laborers such high wages. Coleman
also claimed to have identified some Of his
prosecutors by their voices.

PERILs OF THE SEA.
Description OF the Experience Of the
,Bteams Zip britannia In a Storm.


steamship britannia In q Storm.
NRw YoRK, August 30.-Captain Zauf.
fert, OF the steamer Britannia, from Mar.
settles, which arrived this morning in a
crippled condition from the effects Of a
storm which she encountered on the 18th
in latitude SS0 l5>, longitude $50 TO-, stated
that with many years OF seafaring ex.
perience he had never been in such terri
Bile conflict OF the elements. "0n the even
ing OF the Oath" he said, "the atmosphere
was calm; but very heavy, and the barome.
ter was very high, reaching S02: during
the night 1t lowered, but not enough to in
dictate danger. The wind, toward morning
changed southwest to south. | ordered
the sails set, not experimenting any dan.
ger. "-"At o'clock on the morning Of
the 26th," continued the Captain,
"the skies commenced to change and
the barometer 10 lower. At o'clock the
wind came in sudden gusts, and the ba-
rometer fell to 294. At half-past Z a gust
struck us with the force Of pent-up steam
escaping from burst boiler, and carried
all the sail away, tearing it In shreds, while
suspended in the air. The sea began to
run heavy, and from every point OF the
compass q multitude OF clouds were driven
toward US with lightning rapidity. Dark.
ness fell upon US, and we could not see ten
feet ahead. As II thousand powder maga.
zines had been fired simultaneously, flashes
OF light burst every few feet apart from the
black pail over US, and the deafening crash
that followed almost completely summed
everybody on board. The sea seemed
drawn towards the clouds, and waves dash
ed over the ship, carrying away all the
boats aud rails. A vortex opened right
ahead OF us, into which we swept, and the
straining steamer was whirled around like
an egg shell.
"The hood.gates Of the heavens opened,
and the rain, driven with such power that
1t struck us almost with the force Of hail.
The strangest phenomenon OF the storm,
however, was the erratic course Of the
lightning which appeared TO leap from the
water and lose itself in the clouds. This,
though, may have been an optical illu-
sion. We tried to stand up before the
wind, but as 1t came from every quarter,
we had to give 1t up and DRIFT. The cy-
clone vanished as it had come, the clouds
dispensing and blowing away to every
point o. the compass. AS they passed
away It gradually became lighter, and the
sea began to run less heavy. VI course
there was great CONSERVATION on board,
but when we found that the steamer had
taken no water, our fears we're allayed.".

WARRINGTON, August 3O.-While Samuel
]. Randall is reported to be busily engaged
in agricultural operations on his farm a
few miles from Philadelphia, there 10 rea-
son to believe that he occasionally leaves
his plow in the unfinished furrow and
makes quiet journey to Philadelphia on
political business related not remotely 10
the speakership canvass. 1t is even re-
ported that on one occasion he has travelled
as far as Graystone. Several weeks ago
Representative Converse, OF Ohio, came TO
Washington "On Department business"
and did not return home until after con-
ference with Randall in Philadelphia. A
day or two ago Converse turned up
here again, this time in search
OF "winter quarters" and again he went to
Philadelphia, it is understood, for further
conference with Randall. Converse is q
strong Randall man, but he is not without
hope that in case Of long and bitter strug-
gle in the Democratic caucus the name OF
Converse may ultimately lead all the rest.
Sometimeago hefriends is s. Cox asserted
that he would get the Ohio votes, with
two or three exceptions" but they now re.
gretfully concede that he will receive only
two or three votes from that State; Car
isles friends claim SEVERAL" and 1t
seems to be generally expected that Ran
dali will have the rest. Several prominent
Democrats have expressed the opinion re-
Gently that Randall is the Tilden candidate
and Il so, he can count upon whatever help
Judge Hoadly can give him In Ohio.
The report Of Carlisle-Cox alliance
against Randall ig probably well-founded.
It is not forgotten in Washington, how
ever, that another Kentucky candidate for
Speaker once formed an alliance with y. S.
Cox to defeat Randall. That was four years
ago, and when the feeling against Randall
in bis own party was 80 bitter on account
OF his views op the tariff question that a
number OF fiery Southernerd and Western
Democrats threatened to bolt Il he secured
the nomination. Well, Randall secured 70
votes in the caucus, Blackburn got 5S, and
Cox, who had made big "claims" before the
caucus assembled, received only !, and his
Kentucky ally not only styled
him "A - masquerading Democrat"
but appeared to believe that he had been
secretly in favor Of Randall all the while.
But then Cox was not backed by ''the
solid New York delegation" at that time.

RIVALS IN LOVE.
A Desperate ana Deadly Fight-Cause OF
The Affair

VASDALlA, ILL.,, August S0.-The Phil
lips .Rosebrook tragedy OF last Sunday con-
,inqes to be the Chief topic Of conversation.
The report that they had met per agree.
ment, chosen their weapons and seconds,
and fought duel to the death is erroneous.
Additional and full particulars concerning
the bloody encounter, as learned by a
correspondent to-day, are these: Louis
Phillips and Jacob Rosebrook, both young
men OF good families, residents Of
Bowling Green Township, this county be.
came enamored Of a Mics Evans, living
Just over the line ip Loudon Township.
For some months past both men bad Wig
orously pressed their claims for the young
woman's hand, and it was noticeably plain
that neither Of the suitors entertained any
great amount Of affection Tor the other.
Finally their jealousy became pnbearahle,
and every time they met the ones hatred
toward the other would IN some manner
show itself. The girl could not freely de-
eide which she preferred. The entire
neighborhood was aware efthe rivalry, and
the outcome was looked forward to with
interest. The last sche heme, and the one which
proved to be the signal for the fatal en-
counter, was that devised by Rusebrook.
A miesive purporting to have come from
Phillips was received by MiEs Evans, in
which her character was assailed. Miss
Evans was highly indignant and brought
Phillips to task. He stoutly protested his
innocence aud bitterly denounced the au.
thor, who be openly asserted was none
other than Rosebrook. Matters went on
until last Sunday evening, when the two
rivals met by chance at a church and the
forged letter was alluded to by Phillipa.
Hot words passed, and finally thatw came
10 blows. In the alteration Rosebrook
succeeded in drawing out his revolver
and fired, the ball entering near the
mouth aRd ranging back. Phillips
broke away and ran a short distance, fol-
lowed by his antagonist, who became en-
tangled ip some. underbrush and fell.
Philiips, though weak from the effects ol
Biz wound, turned toward Rosehrook, who
was vet unable to extricate himself, and,
getting within 0 few feet olhim, discharged
Els weapon twice into Rosebfook's beed
one lpaalng taking eject 10 the side Of bis
face, the other In the neck. Phillips, after
finishing his work as he thought, managed
to net to house near by, where bis wounds
were dressed by the occupants. Rosebrook
was taken TO his house, where died shortly
after, At last accounts Phillips was still
alive, though the attending physician Gays
he cannot possibly recover.

Rev. J. +. Mcdowell, OF Chicago, a mis-
sionary Of the Monogsmic Mormon Church,
or as It is officially called the Reorganizsd
Church OF Jesus. Christ Of Latter Day
Saints, lectured at the church o. this sect
just south Of the Eighth ward hast night,
the title OF his discourse being Gan Au-
thentic Expose oil Utah Mormonisul."
The only thing in common between the.
Utah Church and the people Mr.. Mellow
ell represents, is their belief In the Book OF
Mormon, which they believe to have
been discovered by Joseph Smith
in 1880 through the instrumen-.
tality Of an angel. The church govern
ment OF the two bodies Ia also cast in the
same general mold. Polygamy Is the rock
on which they split. Mr., Mcdonnell is
persistent in his denunciation OF this her
esy OF the Utah Mormons, and he points
out passages in the Book Of Mormon which
condemn plurality Of wives In the most
emphatic terms. One OF these from the
book Of Jacob reads:
Wherefore, my brethern, hear me, and
harken unto the word OF the Lord. For
there shall not any man among you have
save II be one wife, and concubines he
shall have none, for I, the Lord God, de-
light in the chastity Of women"
The book OF Doctrine and Covenants,
accepted as inspired by divineauthotity by
the Saints, also says: "Thou shalt love
thy wife with all thy heart, and cleave un-
to her and none else"
The expose 10 the lecture last night was
not as sens .tional as those given the public
by Ann El'zl Young and others, the main
object Of the speaker apparently being 10
show the distinction between bis own
church and that OF Brigham Young. He
did not seem 10 regard Ann El:zi very
kindly, declaring that she had been heard
plotting with several cantile lawyers Of Salt
Lake City in the house in which she ie-
sided there, to mak' money by suing Brig
ham Young for divorce and almony.
He said Mics Wells, who after.
ward became Brigham's nineteenth wife,
and won fame by leaving the church and
Its iniquities, embraced polygamy
with her eyes open, and only forsook and
denounced It when she thought she could
make money by 30 doing. He dwelt upon
the evils Of tho Endowment House and
other well-known Utah institutions but
briefly. Yet his talk served to imprese the
wickedness Of the system OF poygamy upon
the minds of his hearers, as he spoke ola
matter with which he was familiar, with
an eloquence and feeling born OF personal
knowledge Of his subject.
