The Famous Blind Tom Case.

New Yonk, Oct. 7.-tSpecial to the Bee.
A dispatch to the World from Richmond,
Va, says the case of blind Tom, the colOred pi-
anist, known to the world over, was up in the
United States Court there yesterday on a mo
ton for the appointment of his mother, Char
itor Wagons, or some other suitable person,
as his guardian. For twenty years Gen. Ber-
thune, of that state, and his sons, had charge
Of Tom and exhibited him everywhere to au-
diences. What Tom has ever received for
his wonderful performances beyond mere
support is not shown by the Berthune family.
Last year young Berthune was killed and his
brother claimed Tom. The widow of de-
ceased Berthune, with Toms mother, are now
trying to get control OF the prodigy. Gen.
Berthune and son, and the widow Berthune
were in court. The former We're represented
by Beach, of Alexandria, and the latter by
II. Page, of Richmond, aud Lawshe, of BoS-
ton. Pages speech before the court in behalf
of Toms mother and in the name of equity
as against the Berthunes, charged that It
was Il case of slavery of the worst kind in a
time of freedom of every other subject of the
United States government. Tom IS held by
n decision of an inferior Virginia court. and
Judges Bond and Hughes viii, it is thought,
decide against Bertllune to-day wien the
case will be disposed.

INCREDIBLE INTELLIGENCE,
Report From Chicago That Mr.. Max Meyer
Has Been Seized by Custom officers
FOR SMUGGLING DIAMONDS.
hsf. Julius Meyer Scouts the Idea,
Stating That His Brother Has
Already Proved His
Innocence.

About II o'clock last night the associ-
atcd press telcgraphic report brought the
following telegram:
CHICAGO, Oct. 7-Customs officers here
to-day seized 81, 600 worth of diamonds
found among the effects of n member of
the firm of Meyer Bros, leading Omaha
jewellers, who had just returned from
Europe and was stopping ut the Ire.
mont house. From remarks made by
fellow passengers of the man from whom
the diamonds were taken, the officers
suspect some 5000 more of Struggled
goods have been consigned to parties at
Omaha, and Il representative OF the de-
partment was dispatched to that place
tonight to investigate the matter.
JULIUS MEYERS STATEMENT.
Upon receipt of the news n reporter
called upon Mr.. Julius Meyer Mt his room
on Farnam street. The hour was late
and Mr.. Meyer was in bed, but upon be-
ing told the object of the visit he admit
ted the reporter, with the remark that
the news was over twelve hours old.
~ heard of it this morning."
said Mr.. Meyer. "a dispatch came
from my brother from Chicago saying
that he had been followed by n custom
official and his goods searched. The dis
patch also said that nothing wrong had
been found, rs my brother had no dia-
monds or other dutiablc goods with him.
When in Europe he purchased $50, 900
worth of diamonds and they are now in
the store here. The duty on them was
all paid, and it is foolish to suppose that
he would attempt to smuggle ST 200
worth. He has never done any SNUG
Cling business"
Mr.. Meyer also stated in answer to n
question that lie was not aware that his
brother had purchased diamonds for
other parties in the city, and he did not
believe he had. He arrived in New York
from Europe Saturday, and was ex-
pected in Omaha to-day.
II believe there is some mistake about
the matter" continued Mr.. Meyer. II
do not believe that Max has been ar
rested, and l think that the report arises
from the fact that the customs official
followed him to Chicago and searched
his effects. l think it will be explained
tomorrow, and that everything will be
found satisfactory"

Arkansas ClsilIs,

Wade Brownlee and family, colorcd
people, who have for several years
been living in the Central country, OF
this county, left for Arkansas on the
Gath ult. For the benefit of those
who intend going to that State, we
publish tho following from the Char
lotte Observer:
The darkies who 60 out there, sell
dom get back, because some of them
are nailed up too tight in boxes, and
the others are too we'll played out to
undertake to walk back. A ARichmond
and Danville conductor, who WAS out
in Arkansas for a while, says that
the darkies are generally colonized
in isolated spots, remote from the
dwellings, of white people, and that
in one instance he knows of 500 col
ored people living at place twenty
miles from @ white mans house..
Land is rich, crops good, but mias-
ma plays havoc about harvest time.
Even the frogs have chills, and when
darkey is siezed with the ague he
has to be taken out and tied to tree
with plow line, to keep him from
shaking the house down. It is not
an unusual sight to find one cabin
after another deserted and whole
fanatics tied to trees out in the yrrds.

Prohibition in Atlanta,

A most gigantic struggle between the
Prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists
OF Atlanta, Georgia, eliminated in a
pitched battle Mt the polls on the 25th
ult., and resulted in complete victory
to the prohibitionists. Never in the
history of Atlanta, or indeed in the
State, has tho present generation wit
messed such fleece and bitter struggle.
Money was used by both sides with n
lavish hand, and strong and influential
men were enlisted on either side. But
the cause of morality, humanity and
christianity has triumphedl The whis-
key demon will be driven from Atlanta
never again, we hope, to return. This
is big experiment, and if it proves sue
cessful, morally, religiously and tinan-
cially to the oity, as we believe it will,
then we may hope to see other large
cities following, and soon the whole
country will rejoice in being freed from
this dreadful curse.
