also iessened the governments confidence
IN the success of the project. Regarding
the alleged encroachments of the British,
the paper says that any grievances of the
German traders in East Africa will be duly
adjusted. and that there is no necessity for
indignation meetings, which, on the con-
trary. will only do harm. The extent of
German territory in Africa, it says, is al
ready out of proportion to the forces dis
posable for its protection. The experience
of the Germans in Zanzibar affords an addi-
tional reason for concentrating within the
present possessions. and the government
Will not divide its forces in order to secure
new territory.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The NOuvelle Revue
OF Paris publishes another of its sensation
al articles on diplomatic subjects which
leaves the diplomates as before in state of
wonder as to where the editor, Madame
Adam, gets her information. The present
article throws some light on the relations
that an understanding exists whereby
Germany has undertaken to defend King
Leopold against aggression in certain
contingency. 1t is asserted in Paris that
the government has decided to appoint a
commission to investigate into the methods
by which Madame Adam has cOntrived to
secure access to the contents of such i'm

Love al OhiOanS.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, August 21.-The
careful and elaborate preparations
for the reception of President Harri-
son were based on his expected arri-
val at 7:90. They were all disturbed,
however, by the delay of the train,
which was two hours late. The Ma
tional flag was displayed all over
that portion of the city where the
party was expected to pass, as well as
from numerous residences and bust
ness houses in other parts OF the city.
The weather is warm, but clear and
the programme modified to suit the
shortening of the time will be carried
out. 1t is probable the reception at
the hotel will be omitted.
Amid booming Ct mon and cheers
from the vast multitude gathered at
Central station, the President of the
United States arrived here at quar-
ter past ten o'clock, two hours and a
half late, on account of an accident to
the engine of the train in front of the
Weatern express, between Baltimore
and Washington yesterday.

was Immediately fired and destroyed.
Alarm after alarm was sent out from

CINE in the city was at the scene and
streams of water were pouring in from
all directions. Within fifteen min
utes, the entire square, except
narrow strip along Preble Ave-

man Mullhill of the Eureka Engine

was under control, so far as confirming
danes within their original limits
was concerned, but the fire was still
burning at 8 o'clock this morning.
The des ,ruction of the refinery prop

is still licking up what little remains.
No trace of the engineer has yet been
found. The plant was valued at $685.

A CHICAGO SCANDAL.
r;,- Wifi OF a Millionaire Runs on with
a Catholic Priest.

CHICAGO, August 2O.--rhe wife o
millionaire Mike" Mcdonald, the
noted ex-gambler and politician, is
missing. Mrs. Mcdonald disappeared
from her home at the corner of Ash
land Boulevard and Harrison street a
week ago last Friday, and though a
small army of detectives have been re-
tanned to discover her whereabouts,
they have succeeded only in obtaining
her diamonds, pawned or sold some
where in the East. Il is supposed that
Mrs. Mcdonald is now III Europe. 1t
is being reported this evening that she
had as a companion Catholic priest,
who, it is alleged, has been since un-
frocked by the Church. The priest is
supposed to have had parish at South
Chicago or some suburb in this locality.
The story is that Mrs. Mcdonald be-
came acquainted with the priest while
he was on visit to st. Jaraith's parish.
of which he was member. He be-
came infatuated with her, the admira.

Mrs. Mcdonald from the house in a
carriage last Fciday, but said nothing
of it until week had elapsed, when
he told Mr.. Mcdonald, adding that be
had promised tokeep the matter secret

The South Fork Dam will be Rebuilt.

PITTsBURG, Pa, August 20'-The
general impression that the South Fork
dam would never be rebuilt appears to
be erroneous as there is strong proba-
bility that fishing lake will again be
established in that locality. A men-
Der of the fishing club of that name
says to-day that the belief that the
South Fork had been abandoned as a
club was mistake. The club, he said,
could not afford to lose the moneY:it
had invested in real estate in that
locality. The property was worth fully
s, 200, 600, and if the fishing resort was
not reesta blished the whole investment
would become almost dead loss. Fhe
intention, however, was not to build a
dam of the size Of the one destroyed,
but one which would make a lake
much less in size so that in the event
of the barrier again giving away no de-
struction to life and property would
follow. No move in that direction will
be made until the damage suit now
pending against the stockholders is
settled, either by being paid or COM
promised. The object is to establish a
fair sized pond capable of holding a
good stock Of fish.

e: LOOKING FOR DUEL.
Two Georgia Attorneys May Meet on the
Field.
1Special to the Augusta Chronicle. ]

/ Especial to the Augusta Chronicle.l,
SAVANNAH, GA, Aug. 20.-The
Morning News of to-day says: There
is a probability of duel between law
yers II. E. Wilson, Of Savannah, and
D. H. Clark, OF Tusculum, Etfingham
county, but whether it will be a G"or-
gia duel. or an Alabama duel has not
yet been settled.
The two attorneys had setto on the
Atlanta fast mail between Eden and
Pooler yesterday morning. The Effing-
ham attorney got in single blow I'M
der Mr.. Wilson's left eye, and the
Savannahian pinned the Effingham
man several plump blows in the face,
under the chin and behind the ears.
The fight took place shortly after the
train left Eden. Mr.. Wilson got on the
train at'Guyton. Just before reaching
Eden he went into the smoking car,
where he claims, Mr.. Clark attacked
him from the rear. Friends interposed
and the com batants were separated.
They came on to the city, and it was
expected that the matter would I've set
tied here, but neither attorney saw the
other during the day. Mr.. Clark went
back to Tusculum on the 'shoof1y" train
and Mr.. Wilson went up to Rome or
the fast mail last night. Some Of their
friends think that the scrimmage is
only preliminary to further meeting
and perhaps duel.

TWO SPECIMEN oFFICE-HoLDERs.
Ono of Wanamaker's Friends in the Pen
itentiary and the Otherin The Gala
.booSe.
New IorW Evening Post.

Ne" Ol w GfSIlliiS5 OSU.t
In commenting the other day upon
the fact that notice of his appointment
to place in the railway mil service
found negro office-seeher of North
Carolina serving g term in the pen
itentiary for a burglary committed af-
ter his application for office was sent in,
we drew the lesson that promptness on
the part of the appointing power was
indispensable in the interest OF public
morals.
A dispatch published by the Tribune
this morning, however, shows that
promptness in making appointments
will not act as an insurance against
offences. Now, according to this dis
patch, Henry Rakestraw, q peesi105w negro, was
recently appointed POSTMASTER at
Cheraw, S. Ga town which, accord
ing to tbeGazetteer, has seven churches
an9>swo academies. "Ea1y this week
lie lie went to Darlington, a larger town,
to get bondsmen. After making yala
efforts in this direction, he becamedis-
gusted and got drunk. He was soon
arrested and taken to.the guard house,
where in default of $40 he was sent TO
jan for ten days. A resident of Darling
ton telegraphed the facts to the post:
master general. Mr.. Wanamaker did
not reply, and finally the Democrats
opened a subscription, the fine was
paid, and the new appointee. was given
a ticket home"
There is really only one sure cure for
such troubles as these, and that is the
something equally as; good" cure,
which the Evening Post has repeatedly
prescribed. Let respectable men be
appointed to discharge the duties Of
the offices, and then pay the drunkards
and burglars an equal amount out OF
the public treasury, to make sure that
they will retain an "interest in public
affairs" Under this system the politi-
clans can Ego off on a drunk" or rob a
hen roost any time they choose, while
the public will always be served by
officials selected. on the ground Of fit
ness.
