Gov. Mcdaniel Goes to Washington
Safe Blowers at Work

Gov. Mcdaniel Goes to Washington
Safe Blowers at Work.
ATLANTA, Oct. 11.-GOv. Mcdaniel left
to-day for Washington, Ga, for the pur-
pose Of attending the Baptist Association
Judge LOchrane, who reached here a
few days ago from Ireland, has been call
ed I'd Chicago to resume work as attorney
for the pullman Car Company.
A gang on safe blowers broke into a
bIacksmifh shop last night and stole a
number OF tools. With these they bored
into the iron safe Of o. A. smith and blew
it open with powder, but did not get any
thing as Mr.. Smith had taken all the
money out Of the safe, about $3OO, and
carried it home with him.
The coal dealers of Atlanta have organ
lied an association for protection against
bad payers and the cutting of prices.
The investigation into the City Engin-
eer's office is going on to-day. TIE accusa-
tiOn is that Engineer Angler allowed poor
lumber to be put into a bridge.
Assistant Engineer Mcdaniel makes the
charge and Second Assistant Boswell
stands up to Engineer Angler. The i'm
preston seems to be that Angler is try
ing to shove Mcdaniel out and put BOs-
well in. The committee appointed to
make these Investigations have not, as
vet, made a report on the Street Commits
siOners' case.
The City Council last night passed an
ordinance prohibiting dray teams to be
driven faster than a walk within the city
limits. The passage of the ordinance was
advocated on the ground that teams,
when driven faster than a walk, make
too much noise. The action of the COun-
Gil is pretty generally ridiculed, as the
absurdity of the scheme is plain to the
most casual observer.

Surgeon General Hamilton Makes Sug-
gestIOns to Health Officer Mcfarland.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Surgeon
General of the Marine Hospital Service,
in a letter to DR.. j. T. Mcfarland, the
Health Officer at Savannah, Ca, gives his
views as to the measures necessary to
prevent the introduction of cholera, sub
stantially as follows:
SIN the case of a vessel from a port in
fected with cholera at the time of clear
ance arriving at a local port without
having sickness on board during the vOy-
age, the necessary time of detention
should be that necessary for the muster
ing and inspection of the officers, passen-
gers and crew of the vessel, examination of
the cargo, and, Unnecessary, the disinfectiOn
and cleansing of the ship. Vessels from
suspected ports should be treated in the
same way. The method adopted by the
Belgium Government for disinfect on as
well as fumigatiOn is recommended as
the most practicable for the purpose.
This embraces, first, solution of chloride
of zinc to disintect detection; second, a
carbolic acid solution for the washing of
floors and walls; third, sulphate of zinc
for latrines and water closets; fourth, fu-
migatiOn with sulphurOus acid gas for all
close places on board the ship"

LONDON, Oct. 11.-Numerous puhI5e
demonstrations in favor of the franchise
bill have taken place to-day in varfcz4E-
parts of England. Hon. William E. Fors
ter, Member of Parliament, Liberal, Eu,
speech delivered at Bradford, stated tia.
he was sure that the government wouh2
not alter their redistribution scheme n
order to have the franchise biz
passed. He stated that he suspected
that the scheme printed in the London
Standard was the real one which would
be submitted to the Cabinet by the con-
mittee.
Herbert j. Gladstone, son of the Pre-
mier, Liberal member for Leeds, said that
nothing would induce the government to
introduce the redistribution bill into Par
Lament without the amplest guarantee
that the House of Lords would pass a
franchise bill first which would be salts

this morning Blaine left Ironton to go up
through the Hooking valley. The work
men of the National mills came out bare
armed and bare breasted and cheered as
he passed. At Oakhill there was con-
siderable crowd, composed largely of
wOrkingmen. Beside the track they had
erected platform of pig iron on which
Blaine stood. He began brief speech
by saying: Il stand on the same platform
on which | stood in Congress for 20 years,
a platform which enables iron to be made
in our own country instead Of England"
This was received with great cheers. The
remainder of his speech was devoted to
the bearing of the tariff on the iron in
| dustry.
LOGAN AT CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, Oct. I1.-Gen. Logan
reached this city during the afternoon
and was met at the depot by body of 400
veteran soldiers, who, with a band of
music, escorted the General to hotel.
Upon his arrival there the square was
quickly filled with a dense crowd, to
whom Gen. Logan appeared and made
brief address, which was received with
loud applause. Tonight he was escorted
to Music Hall, where an audience
filling the whole house was in waiting.
Many ladies were present. On the ap-
pearance of Gen. Logan at the main en-
trance a scene of the widest enthusiasm
ensued and was kept up for fully 10 min
utes. Gen. NOyes called the meeting to
order and announced Gen. HickenloOper
for Chairman. The latter then introduced
Gen. Logan, referring to their service
together du ring the war, and especially
to Gen. LOgan's brilliant services at the
battle of Atlanta, when he succeeded
MCPHERSON in command of the army of
Tennessee. Cheering from the 1000 peO-
pie in the hall greeted Gen. Logan's APP
pearance as he rose to speak.
ANSWERING HENDRICKS.
He went directly into an answer of ex-
Gov. Hendricks speech of the night be-
fore and then took up the subject of the
tariff, making the assertion that Gov.
Hendricks speech was an open decIara-
tiOn of free trade. He was bitter against
Mr.. Hendricks for trying to array the
Germans against Blaine, and, re-
ferrng to Senator Bayard's insinuatiOn
that Republicans were about to buy
votes in ohio, SAID that it came with bad
grace from man from the South to talk
to Ohio about a fair ballot, when it was
known that if Democratic hands and
shOtguns could be kept of the ballot boxes
in the South they could not carry seven
States. The speaker closed with an ap-
peal for the support of :. the Republican
State and Congressional ticket.

England and the Boers.

LONDON, Oct. 11.-An ultimatuzn
has been sent to the Transvaal Goy-
ernment by Great Britain. 1t re-
calls repeated violations of treaties
and acts of violence which have been
committed by the Boers beyond the
boundary lines of the TransvaaI country.
1t demands of the Transvaal Government
due satisfaction for these acts, the repres-
sion of the BOer filibusters, and thorough
observance of the articles of the last con-
vention entered into by both countries.
1t is reported that the British War Office
is already preparing an expedition of
5000 men to proceed to South Africa, a
portion of which will be drawn from the
East Indian army. The withdrawal Of
the proclamation annexing Montcia's
territory is not expected to alter the posi-
ton of affairs, as the Beers continue to
hold their grip upon the lands.

FAIRBURY, ILL, Oct. 11.-At 2:15
O'Clock this morning the grist mill OF

flames leaped across the road, and CON-
municated to the large mercantile block
owned by Walton Bros. While the fire
ragged furiously in the territory named it
was also sweeping eastward ON the Op-
posite side of the street, destroying the
stock yards and buildings of Comb & Nc
Donald, the dTyhouse or warehouse of
Walton Bros, containing large
quantity of grain, and the black
smith shop of G.. Westernell.

Beecher Intimates that He is Not One,
Whatever Mr.. JOY May Be.


This letter is addressed to the Republi-
can candidate for Governor of Michigan
Gen. r. a. Al0er, Detroit, Mich:
DEAR SIR have Just read your letter of
Oct. 8, eXhorting me publicly to retract
your (my) statements, as you have in your
zeal for the Democratic par. Y, and the Demo-
C attic nominee, spread them before the whole
country" When the heat of this canvass has
passed, you Will think that such language
or wise. l beg you to understand that l have
nothing to do with the truth, or otherwise,
OF Mr.. joys statements to me, respecting Mr.,
Blaine. The only question is: Did Mr.. joy
make those statements? The transactions be-
tween him and Mr.. Blaine, through an inter
mediary, may all be mythical; or the inter
mediary may have been an imposter; or Mr..
Blaine's feelings may never have been hurt
by any such requests; and Mr.. Joy may never
have been shocked at BlaIne's imputed an
sWer; and Mr.. joys artless feelings being
practiced upon, by this intermediary he may
have expressed himself too severely about
Mr.. Blaine. Let Mr.. JOY and MIR. Blaine
settle that between themselves. l have moth
ing to do with all that. Did Mr.. Joy make
the remarks in my presence which L have
publishedp II he did not, l have lied. II he
did. Joy has lied. There is no middle ground.
There shall be none. Either 1 heard It or in
vented it..
Mr.. joys second telegram to you makes q
languid and foolish denial, which l attribute
to his not having seen or understood my state
ment. But if Mr.. Joy has seen my statement
and denied it, or if when he lands in New
York he shall DECLARE that no such conversa-
ton was held in my presence, then have only
to say that, whereas / did not imagine thai
there could be more than one continental liar
| am compelled to think that there are two.
S49lease accept this letter as the only retrac-
tion and apology that am prepared to make
to you, to Mr.. Joy, to Mr.. Blaine, and to th'
