ATLANTA, July 23.-The declination Of
Speaker Carlisle to speak at the Pied.
mont Chautauqua, after having accepted
an invitation to do so, and with the
Atlanta committee of escort already
in Washington, creates considerable
CONSERVATION among the Chautauqua
authorities. Carlisle, Mills and Breckin.

speak. The refusal is likely to create
bitterness. Efforts are being made te

THE UNIVERSITY
The Beautiful Yearbook of This
FIOurishing Institution.

FIOurish1ng Institution.
The University of Southern California
has just issued its Year Book for the cur
rent school year of 1878. This publi-
cation contains cuts of the several college
buildings; the names of the faculties
those of the students; the studies pur-
sued each year in the various depart
ments, and much other information of
great value to parents having childen to
educate. The curriculum embraces a
very liberal course of study. There are
colleges of Literature, of Free
Arts, of Medicine, of Music.
of Theology, and of Agriculture.
There are also preparatory schools in
various parts of South California, all
connected with the fountain head here
in Los Angeles. The list of students in
the several schools indicate that the in
stitution is very prosperous. The book
is geographically very artistic, and in
this respect no office il San Francisco
could turn out job of work of higher
style of workmanship. After this it is
perhaps needless to say that it bears the
imprimatur Of the HERALD Office.

Mr.. GARRETT ENTIRELY WELL.
Why He Has Resolved to Give up a shoot
ing Trip and Come Home.

New York, July "a telegram from
Baltimore last night stated that President
Spencer, of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road had come to New York on railroad
business and would await the arrival here
of Robert Garrett, whose father-in-law, Mr.
Frick, had gone to Europe to bring him
home, as his mental condition had become
much more serious.
President Spencer said last night that he
did not expect TO meet Mr.. Garrer, and so
far Us he knew that gentleman was not ex-
pscted home at an early date. Mr.. Spencer
also said that he was positively assured that
Mr. CARROTS health was very much i'm
proved.
w. l.. Montague, of Baltimore, an init
mate friend Of the Garrett family, assured
the correspondent that instead of Mr.. Gar
rett having suffered a relapse he had en-
tirely recovered. He said that Colonel La
trobe, of Baltimore. who left Mr. Garrett
in London ten days ago, had assured him
that he was then perfectly well and as
healthy as any man in London. Mr.. Mon
tague also saw letter received from Mr.
Garrett last Saturday which fully corrobo-
rated the favorable report of Colonel La
trobe and other gentlemen who have re-
Gently seen him. Mr.. Frick went to Lon
don TO join his son-in-law, but not to bring
him home. Another friend of Mr.. Gar
rett said that after the latter received the
news of his brothers death he csbIed that
he would come home as soon as possible.
1t had previous to this been his intention
TO do some shooting in Ireland and Scotland
and return in time for the pleasant shoot
ing on his Maryland reserve in the fall, but
from his cable dispatch it was inferred that
he had given up the shooting and would
be home in few weeks at furthest.

ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, July 5.-John
Jennings is an old man of about seventy
years of age who works as q truckman
here. He went to work at the usual time,
leaving his wife, who has been an invalid
for several years. alone inlthe house When
he returned To dinner at twelve o'clock he
was unable TO find her, and after inquiry
among the neighbors he began search
ing the house. Upon opening a
door leading into the attic stairway
he was mortified to discover his wife's body
hanging by the neck. Her face was purple
and she had evidently been dead some time
She had taken q common cotton clothes

neck, had fastened it to brace which sup

band was to have taken her 10 the Water

She had said she would kill herself if they

Accidental Death I'm Which Two Ladies
named stokes Were Victims.

Nrw YoRK, July "a hearse drawn up
In front of the Eden Musee was the only
srternal sign Of the sad accident which de-
pr;yed Mrs. Eliza Stokes of her life. The
fadv in company with her granddaughter,
Miss NJ McHenry, visited the Eden Musee
Mrs Stokes supported herself with cane
In her right hand, and also clung to her
companion's arm. While descending the
second fight of stairs leading to the dark
ened chamber of horrors, the aged woman's
cane suddenly slipped, and, making false
step. she was thrown heavily ON her face on
the stone tagging, dragging her grand
daughter down with her. Ready hands
helped the younger woman to her feet but
a single glance at the still face of her white
haired companion showed that death,
caused, it is thought, by fracture of the
skull, had come almost instantly. The
suddenness of the affair and the few who
saw il effeetually prevented any great ex-
citement and an hour after its occurrence
all trace had disappeared.
Mrs Stokes was the daughter of Charles
Smith, of Roanoke county, Virginia. and
the widow of the late Judge William S.
Stokes of Madison, Georgia, Virginisn,
who was q wealthy planter. and at one time
a Judge of the Supreme Court in Alabama.
Since the death of her husband. Mrs. Stokes
has travelled almost constantly, chiefly in
the South. Before coming north few
weeks ago, she visited her granddaughter,
Miss McHenry, of Montgomery, Alabama.
Together they came to New York, and soon

known in the South.
BRADFORD, Pa, July 5.-Mr. and Mrs.
G. R. Stokes were instantly killed while
driving across the Western New York and
Pennsylvania Railroad track near Carroll
ton, n. Y. An east-bound passenger train
struck the buggy, hurling Mrs. Stokes into
the river, a distance of forty feet breaking
nearly every bone in her body. Mr.. Stokes
was badly cut, and knocked insensible, but

Another Account.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 5.-The notification
committee appointed by the Republican
National Convention, waited on General
Harrison Yesterday and, through Chairman
Estee informed the General of his nomina-
ton for President. A large number of
prominent politicians and friends of the
family were present. In reply to Mr..
Estee's remarks General Harrison said:
'Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Com
mittee, the official notice which
you have brought of the nomination con-
ferred upon me by the Republican Nation
al Convention recently in session at Chica-
go, eNcites emotions OF profound though
of somewhat conflicting character That
after full deliberation and free consulta-
ton the representatives of Republican par
ty of the United States should have con-
cluded that the great principles enunciated
in the platform adopted by the
Convention could be in some measure safely
confided to my care. as an honor of which
am deeply sensible and for which L am
very grateful. ! do not assume or believe
that this choice impiys that the convention
found in me any prominent fitness or ex-
ceptional fidelity to the principles OF gov
ernment TO which we are mutually pledged
My satisfaction with the result would be al
together spoiled il that result had been
reached by any unworthy methods, or by
disparagement of the more eminent men
who divided with me the suifrages of the
convention. accept the nomination with
deep sense of dignity of the Office and of
the gaayity of its duty and responsibilities.
and altogether exclude any feeling of eNul-
tation or pride. The principles of govern
ment aud the practice in administration
upon which issues are now fortunately so
clearly made, are so important in their re-
iations to the national and to individual
prosperity, that We may expect an
unusual popular interest in the
campaign. Relying wholly upon the con-
siderate judgment Of our feilow-citizens
and the gracious favor of God, we will CEN
fiently submit our cause to the arbitriment
of q free ballot The day you have chosen
for this visit suggests no thoughts that are
not in harmony with the occasion. The
Republican party has walked in the light
of the Declaration of Independence. 1t
has lifted the shaft of patriotism upon the
foundation laid at Bunker Hill. II has made
the more perfect union secure by making
all men free. Washington and Lincoln, York
town and Appomattox. The declaration
of independence and the proclamation
of emancipation are naturally and worth
lily associated in our thoughts to-day. As
soon as may be possible shall by letter
to your chairman q more
formal acceptance OF the nomination, but
it may be proper for me now to say that
have already examined the platform, and
that its declaration to some of which you
have alluded are in harmony with my
views. 1t gives me pleasure, gentlemen,
to receive you in my home and TO thank
you for the cordial manner in which you
have conveyed your official message. The
