Says Washington special: The
Presidents order, excluding Office
seekers and public men, except when
they have public business with him,
will probably be revoked at the end of
the month. II was made to give the
President time to prepare his message.
He will try in future to keep out the
ofllce-seekers, but he recognizes that it
would be impossible to restrict public
men in their coming to see him or to
make them specify in advance their
business with him. Senator Vest and
William II. Morrison to-day made u
very vigorous talk in the Private Sec
retary's room, protesting against the
order. When they went in TO see the
President and found him alone for the
first time since he has been in the
White House, they came away with a
better opinion of the order.
The Washington critic., 1885-11-13

A Washington special to the New
York Commercial AdrertiSer says The
President will probably recommend in
his message that the coinage of the
$2,0OO,OOO a month be stopped, and that
the old trade dollars that are now out
standing be bought up and coined into
halves and quarters. He will probably
recommend, as q concession to silver
interests, that half dollars be coined in
larger quantities, but that their weight
be made greater, so that they will rep
resent u value in metal somewhere APP
preaching the imprint upon their face.
This change from the dollar to the half,
it is said, would be greatly in the inter
est of the silver men.

Washington hotel Hobbies have some
queer people among their habitues,
says Austin of the Times-Stdr. A
character well known about them is
"Jedge" Riley, whose native State is
Virginia, but whose coming to Wash
ington is not within the memory of the
oldest inhabitant here The "Jedge"
claims an acquaintance with every Vir-
ginian of prominence one can mention,
and when one arrives at hotel here he
is of course recognized by the Judge,
though the recognition may not be re-
ciprocated. "Hon. So-and-so is an old
friend of mine, and i recommended
him to come to your house" is the way
the "Jedge" usually springs it on the
hotel clerks, and as rule they are
obliged to thank him for his considera-
ton. But 1t was left for Clerk Brown
ell of Wizards to get horse on
"Jedge" Riley the other day. While
passing through a small town in
Virginia on his way to Washington,
graphed Mr. Brownell that he would
arrive within few hours. Judge
Riley was at the desk of the hotel when
Mr.. Brownell opened the dispatch.
There" said the clerk, handing the
missive to Riley, lis telegram from
your State; do you know the gentleman
who is coming" "Let me sec," re.

IF. G. c." in the Chicago TiJuao
recalls in an interesting way talk he
recently had with one of the clerks of
the Congressional Library. Said the
librarian; THE Supreme Court JUS
tices use the library great deal both
on the bench and of Of it.. They are
continually calling for books of all
sorts to aid them in their cases, Now
il is n work on chemistry, now one on
navigation, and now one on American
history or some mechanical art, All
sorts of questions enter into their cases
and they make exhaustive studies in
the consideration Of them. They also
take many books from the library for
private use, and it is curious the turn
some of their tastes take. Justice
Gray, for instance, reads French novels
and has drawn II thousand within the
last five years. lie calls for from six

AN ALLEGED ABDUCTION.
A Story OF Nassau Mother About He
Pretty Daughter.


Pretty Daughter.
The custom house officials received, a
day or two ago. letter asking for the ar
rest Of young girl on board the brig
Helen n. Rawley. The letter was dated
Nassau, n. P, and was signed Mrs. Elvira
Rude, who claimed to be the mother Of the
girl, Rosa Rude. Mrs. Rude made very
serious charges in the letter against the
master of the brig, and accused him Of
having abducted her daughter. The mat
ter was referred to the British Consul
here, and he conferred with Gen. Ander-
son, Chief Of Police. The Rawley is an
American vessel, and is now lying In the
river, at the quarantine station, where she
arrived Oct. %, nine days from Nassau.
Capt. w. W. Smith, her master, came
up TO the city on Wednesday and ne was
questioned by the authorities. He stated
that the girl came aboard of his vessel a
half hour before he sailed carrying n
bundle. He mad been trying to engage a
cOlOred servant in Nassau for his wife on
Long island. Rosa Rude, having heard
that the captain was searching for a ser
want, offered her services. she said that
her mother treated her badly and she
wanted to come TO the States. where she
has relatives, one Of whom is pilot named
George Swami. Of Charleston. Capt. Smith
adds that ne knew OF the girls treatment,
and felt sorry for her. Mrs. Rude, he
says, is the widow of a Swedish captain,
and is not a gentle mother. She partly
supports herselfby making fancy articles
from sea shells. The girl is about II
years OF age, and is said to be quite
comely. Capt. Smith says that she begged
him 80 earnestly TO take her away that he
could not refuse. He wants her to go and
live with his family on Long island, but
he states that he VIII not attempt to in
fiuence her If she decides to go to her
relatives. She has half brother living
in Newark, n. j., and other relatives in
the State Of New York.
When Capt. Smith was told OF the
charge against him he suggested that the
sentative to quarantine TO interview the
girl, and be promised that he would moi
return to his vessel until reply was re
ceived from the girl. He remained in the
city all day yesterday. The girls state
ment will be received to-day. The gu
thOrities are inclined to believe Capt
Smiths story aud discredit Mrs. Rude's
charges. The master Of the vessel courts
the fullest possible investigation and nc
/ arrest was made.
The Helen n. Rawley is an American
vessel that cleared from New York early
| IN the summer with cargo for New Or
/ leans. When of Nassau she encountered
a gale, and springing a leak, put into
/ harbor for repairs. Her cargo was dis
charged, and forwarded by another
vessel. The Rawley, after being repaired
came TO Savannah in ballast. As sh,
cleared from New York for New Orlean
the captain did not get foreign papers
and his case is little unusual, although
il appears he could not help It.

sprang TO the door and poured
volley into the officers. IL was
then little after II O'Clock. hozo and
Carmichael emptied both barrels OF their
guns, and johnson fred two or three
shots from his rife. The escape OF the
raiders was surprising. They were not
twenty PAGES from the moonshiners, and
yet all escaped uninjured except Rose,
| who was struck by one buckshot in his
/ hin. The horses plunged and ran. One
/ load OF buckshot was buried In the dash
/ board of the buggy in which Rose and the
/ guide were riding. The Baptist church
/ across the road was peppered with shot.
/ Young Mcbride had followed the men 10
the door, but had nothing to do with the
shooting.
The affair created the greatest excite
ment in the neighborhoOd. Every one
deprecated the act and condemned the
oowardly perpetrators. TIE trio were
considered desperate by their neighbors,
ana the revenue officers were warned 70
be cautious. Messrs. Colquitt and Chap
man had some difficulty In getting assist
ance from the people, who were afraid OF
the moonshiners. After the McBrides
were arrested the officers went after
MOZ0. The latteg's brother assured the
deputies that they would have no trouble
in taking Tol Alozo, and ne voluntarily
itAuFJtus UOuNbDn anu AdIullt0dtl
were rot captured, but the officers expect
10 get them.
Johnson is well.to-do farmer near Long
Pond, Telfair county, and 1t is on his
place that the Illicit whisky has been
made. Carmichael is a small farmer Of
the neighborhood, and is said 10 own the
stills and make the whisky, sharing the
profits with Johnson. The presence OF
the raiders in the neighborhood and their
object we're betrayed by Tol Mozo. On
Thursday night Wall and Clements went
TO MozO's house to inquire about the To-
cality Of the stills. MOzO purpOsely mis-
directed the party, and then hurried off to
alarm Johnson and Carmichael. The
three took their guns and went to Long
Pond to await the arrival OF the officers.
All three were recognized at the time
Of the shooting by Wall and Rose.
1t is thought that Johnson will give
himself up, for he has said that he would
If he was not afraid that a severe penalty
will be inflicted.
Young Mcbride lie % years old, and he
and his father are said 70 have good repu-
tatiOns. They and MozO were given a
hearing at Macon yesterday.

Appointing a New sachem

A very pleasant impromptu party as
sembled yesterday at quiet retreat for
The purpose Of christening the genial
Capt. Bohonnan, who was some time ago
resurrected from the Vastly deep, to which
be had been consigned by the spirits-nOt
liquid, but real disembOdied. II had been
noticed that the Captain had marked
penchant for Yamacraw, and upon due
investigation II was decided that he WAS
worthy and deserving sue
cessor OF the great chief of
that classic locality. Whereup0n some
choice spirits assembled as aforesaid, and
bestowed on him In due and ancient form
the name OF Tomiehiohi, with all the APP
pendages and appurtenances belonging
thereto. When the captain arrived,
equipped and In full war paint, be dug up
the Ratchet and began hostilities single
handed. He went for the enemy and stood
up nobly, but was finally Vanquished and
laid away in his little bed IL was a rich
treat, aud more fun than whole circus.
Those present enjoyed IL immensely.
They wished the typical sailor man sue.
cess In his new role.
