How the Bulletins Keep the Public
Posted of Its Proceedings.
With the posting Of the first news from
Chicago yesterday the crowds began to
collect around the bulletin boards. The
facilities for the spread OF the news were
complete. Bulletins were posted at the
newspaper and telegraph offices and at
Tire Cotton Exchange, Board of Trade,
and Western Union branch offices,
rs they arrived. Subscribers to
the gold and stock telegraph
also had the news in their offices, and the
public was kept thoroughly informed Of
the conyeption's proceedings. The meagre
news on Tuesday caused an expectancy
OF hot times yesterday. In this, however,
the public was disappointed, as the con-
vcntlon merely carried ont its slate work.
The crowds yesterday included all
classes. and a variety of sentiments and
opinion was heard.i
The Republicans were among the
crowds but had very little 10 say. They
cline to their belief that the party will
blunder into a nomination which will give
Them 4 clean sweep Of the field. The to-
taI number Of bulletins sent out from the
Western Union Office was between eighty
aud ninety

THEIR EIGHTH GAME.

The Dixies and Oglethorpes Again in
the Diamond-The Games Elsewhere.
The Dixies and OglethOrpes will play
their eighth game at the Base Ball Park
tomorrow afternoon. The two games on
Saturday and Tuesday, resulting in a
sweeping defeat of the OglethOrpes,
instead of running their courage to low
ebb, has nerved them to their best efforts
to wrest the two last games from the
Dixies' pennant, and put them once more
in the lead. The loss of Dell and Tanning
weakened their nine so that since their
withdrawal they have been unable to do
anything successfully. Comm and Benet
have not proved themselves equal to the
positions in which they have been placed.
There will be several changes, it is under
stood for tO-mOrrOw's game, and a close
contest is anticipated.
The Browns defeated the Clinches at
Augusta on Tuesday by a score of IL to L.
The Cadets have been challenged by the

TOT TRIED FOE MANsLAUGHTER
A Brunswick Murderer in JaiI-Ths
Story of His Crime.

Story of His Crime.
Sheriff Lambright, Of Brunswick, ar
rived in the city last night having in
charge a mulatto named Beauregard Ed
wards charged with manslaughter.
The prisoner was Immediately lodged in
iail under a commitment from Judge Mer-
shOn until the first MondaEip December,
1884, unless sooner released by the Judge
Of the Brunswick Circuit.
On the 9th Of last month John Robin
son, negro, died in Brunswick from in
juries said to have been inflicted by Ed
wards in fight at a supper the Saturday
night previous. The deceased was acting
as dOOrkeeper, the supper being at his
mothers house, and Edwards and another
negro named Joe Williams were refused
admittance. The two men became in
censed and afterwards called Robinson
out to settle the matter, when he was
stabbed i'm the head and cut in the arm.
1t was claimed that Williams beat the
wounded man with his fists. Both he
and Edwards were arrested, but at the
COrOner's jury a verdict of manslaughter
was rendered and Edwards was held.

Strangel But True.

1t seems very strange to other dealers
why we can afford to sell so much cheaper
and offer much superior article to the
public than they do, but when once seen
into the matter it is not very hard to dis
solve. We purchase direct from the man.
ufacturers who manufacture nothing but
for best retail trade. We can sell cheaper
because we sell more than others, and are
satisfied with very small profits. Those
who need such as Clothing, Hats or Fur
nishing Goods for this season, will do
well to call on us, as we MUST close out
our entire stock before the beginning of
fall in order to make room for our Fall
Stock. Profit or no profit we will sell the
balance we have on hand.

The WORST FAILURE YET.
The 6reat Firm of Fisk 6 Hatch GOe


The Great Firm of Fisk s Hatch Goes
Under.
NEw YoRx, MAY l5--The firm Of Fisk 4
Hatch is composed Of A. r. Hatch and
Harvey Fisk. Hatch was recently elected
President of the Stock Exchange by a
unanimous vote. The firm has been one of
the heaviest dealers in government bonds on
Wall street, and was considered q staunch,
conservative and reliable firm. They have
been recognized as the fiscal agents here Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and of
the Efizabethtown, Big Sandy and
Lexington road and have carried
heavy amounts of stock for these
roads, while the market was declining. They
have sons and sOnS-in-law IN the stock bust
ness. The announcement of their suSpeu-
sion came ike a thunderbolt on the EN
change. VIM LummiS is acting preSiden.
of the Exchange owing TO Hatch's diSabil-
nv. Ii is surmiSed that efforts to aid the
sons embarrassed the firm. Hatch has been
prominent in religious matters and philan-
throphic measures and was frequently heard
as a lecturer on religious subjects a
Macauley'S CremOrne mission. Fisk had
lust returned from Il tour of Europe. The
immediate result of the failure at the stock
exchange Was a decline of one to FIVE points.
The weakness of Government bonds in the
market is explained by the suspension
of this firm, although "a reporter Of the
Associated Press who called there
two hours ago for al explanation
of the decline, was informed there was no
rational cause for it. VIM. LumminS, Vice
President Of the Stock Exchange, is now
or NJ acting as President This firm
went to the wall during the panic Of 'T3,
but resumed shortly after. The suspension
was not announced until few minutes be-
fore o'clock, the hour the Exchange closed.
