A Georgia Campaign Incident.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 12.-LSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEg.l-Tom Cable Jackson,
grandson of General Henry r. Jackson,
formerly minister to Austria, assaulted Mr..
Campbell, associate editor of the Avalanche,
and beat him almost TO death yesterday. A
short time after this Captain Henry Jackson,
the young mans father, attacked George
Martin, editor of the Avalanche, and gave
him a sound dru5bing, leaving him in a faint
ing condition. The trouble came about from
charges which Martin and Campbell had
made in the Avalanche, the anti-prohibition
organ of this city, against Captain Henry
Jackson, who is running for the legislature
and who is known N favor local option.
Campbell swears vengeance, and there may
be a duel. 1t is thought that the fight may

THE FEELING IN ENGLAND.
An American Tells How the British
Consider CIeyelann,s Course.

NEW York, Sept. l2.-[Special Telegram to
secretary of the treasury, returned on the
Elder from Europe, where he has been for
the past month or so. Asked to day If the
English people evinced any alarm about the
presidents retaliatory message, he replied:
"Why, no. They are not agitated IN the
least. The English simply say the president
has made an about-face in his policy, or os-
tensibly so, and treat the matter lightly. In
fact they do not care anything about the
fishery question, but out of Difference to
Canada they have to take cognizance Of 1t.
War they laugh at. They are pretty much
in favor of President Cleveland's reelection,
and think he is actuated solely
by the political eXigencies of the campaign.
You can find few Englishmen who desire to
see a republican administration in power.
They are oil eager for free trade relations,
and look upon President Cleveland as the
Moses to lead the way
'Do the English consider the Mills bill a
free trade measurein
Amy decided reduction in the tariff with
them is a step IN the direction of free trade.
They think the democrats will bring about
free trade If they continue in power long
enough, and hence they favor Cleveland.
The fishery question is a mere bagatelle to
them, compared with the possibility of hav-
ing our markets open to them, so that they
can food our country with goods made by
pauper labor. They can afford TO let Cleve-
land get off as many fierce retaliatory mes
sages as they have provinces, if he will only
give them free trade. Then they will, in the
language of Pitt, recapture America through
free trade.n

Lowry HAS FLED.
The Famous Smith Case Drives Hin
TO Vienna.

y. X. Tenney, Of the Chicago firm OF at
torneys, Tenncy, Blashford & Tenncy, is IN
Omaha, registered at the Paxton hotel'
He is on his way from Denver to Chicago,
and stopped here in compliance with a tele-
gram from his firm to do so. Mr.. Tenney Is
the counsellor IN the Smith-Lowy-Cole-
Miller litigation, and stopped in Omaha In
the interests of his clients, the creditors OF
smith.
MIR. Tenuey said to a BEE reporter that he
had conceived that the trial which. was helu
at Lincoln two years ago to test the Vallui1y
of the sale of the stock of l.. l.. smith 10 H.
Lowry, was not altogether impartial, repre-
sentlng, as he did, the creditors who were
not represented IN the case brought up IN
Chicago against Lowry for the purpose OF
holding him liable for the stock transferred
to him by Smith in Omaha. AT
the expiration of two years the
litigation against Lowry for the value or the
stock, which with interest, amounted 70
Sll1,400, was determined in favor OF ms
clients, the creditors of Smith. To avoid the
payment of this sum, and to escape PUNISH
ment for the crime of perjury committed IN
the supreme court of Illinois, LowN fed TO
Vienna, Austria. Before his departure he
prudently put all of his property out OF MS
hands.
BY IA clever piece of detective work, at the
instigation of MIR. Tenuey, several valuable
interests of Lowry in Chicago, which had not
been fully placed beyond the reach OF Tue
| creditors, were discovered aud secured. In
dictmcnts for perjury were also found by the
| grand jury of Cook county against Lowry.
The property seized was sufficient to pay the
judgment obtained. This fact coupled witt
the perjury indictments probably resulted in
the desire of Lowry for peace, and a settle
| ment Of the matter was reached. Lowy and
| all parties interested IN the affair have ratl-
fled the judgment of the supreme court OF
| Cook county, and have consented that the
money held here be turned over to Mr..
Tenuey for the benefit of the creditors
of Smith, and that they will pay the differ
ence within ninety days; for which, Mr..
Tenney states, adequate collateral has been
produced.
The prosecution, and satisfactory deter
mination of this matter by Mr.. Tenney has
been procured and sustained by the two
Omaha banks interested, and by John V
Farwell & Co., of Chicago. These parties
were determined that a swindle of this mag
nitude should not go uneXposed and unpun-
ished. The result will be, Mr.. Tenney sad
that the very considerable expenses in the
matter will not only be reimbursed, but tina
the entire claim will be paid in full.
The amount of money in the First Nationa
bank here awaiting disposition amounts II
S7A,500.

He Had a Tough Time.

New YoRK, Sept ~12.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. Captain Andrews, who has given
up his attempted trip across the Atlantic in
the little dory, the Dark Secret, and was
picked up 400 miles out by the Norwegian
bark Nora, and brought to this port, was
nearly used UP. He told the Norwegian
skipper he had not partaken of a war; meal
from the time of leaving Boston, June is, nor
had he had a full nights rest. He was in a
fearful condition, his clothes hanging on his
body, which was greatly emaciated. All his
oilskins were played out and he was wet to
the marrow. His boots, too, were full of
holes, where the water had eaten into them.
Taken on deck, he could not stand, and had
to be helped into the bark's cabin. He is
rapidly improving now.

THE E~NCAMPMENT OPENED.
.Commandcr-in-Chief Rea Makes His
Annual Report.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 12.-The national en-
campment of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie began this morning, the reception, camp
fire and parade of yesterday being prelimi-
nary to the actual work of the encampment
The Grand Army OF West Virginia, naval
veterans, Sheridan'S division, brigade ana
regimertal associations met in the various
parts of the city, but the meetings were
strictly private, none but members being
admitted.
In the course of his annual address Com
mauder-in-Chle Rea Of the G. A. Il. re-
viewed the growth of the order. He said
that the reports on June 80, 1888, showed
there were 800, Pas comrades borne on the
rolls, TO which might be safely added a suf-
ticient number on transfer cards to swell the
grand total to 400, 900. After speaking some
time Of the future growth of the order and
denouncing the use of the Grand Army
badge for political effect, he endorsed
the legislation proposed by the last encamp-
ment which failed to pass in congress, and
expressed his desire for further action in the
same line. During the year 4,i33 comrades
had died, being an increase Of ! ,O2I over the
previous year. He continued: During the
past year reports show that there was eX-
pended in charity the sum of s2i5,915.15.
This, of course, does not include many thous-
ands of dollars which have been given by
members privately in aid of less fortunate
comrades.n He spoke touchingly OF the
death of General Sheridan. He called spe-
cial attention to the Woman's Relief corps,
Sons of Veterans and navy survivors division,
and of the regard future generations will
nave for them and their work. The other
national officers also submitted their reports
at the morning session.

Continued Decrease in Western Pack.
ing-The Outlook For Cnrn.

CINCINNATI, Sept. l2.-[Special Telegram
to Til BEE. The Price Current reports
95 1000 as the western packing for the week
against 145, 900 for the corresponding week
last year, making a total Of 100000 since
March /, against 1855, 900 q year ago. The
September report of the government makes
the number of stock hogs available for fat
tening 95.7 per cent compared with a year
ago. The small current manufacture of hog
product is far short of the distribution to
consuming districts and the diminishing con-
dition of western stocks has gwen strength
to values. Speculation has not been active,
the market being sustained by the actual de-
lnand.
The past week has been favorable for corn.
Based on special returns from western
states, it is estimated that about rs per cent
of this crop is secure from injury by frosts
and but few districts require over one or two
weeks more to practically secure the whole
crop in good order.
