UNCLE JERRY RUSK GOES TO
DEER PARK,

And Will Accompany the Presi-
dent to IndianapOIiS-Inf
ton for the Charleston Collector
from the Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON, August 2O.-In answer
to certain inquiries made by the colleC-
tor at Charleston, S. c., relative to the
drawback on jutc bagging imported as a
covering of cotton i'll bales, the treasury
department holds: First, that an official
supervision of the lading should be as
careful and thorough AS spossiblc. Second,
whenever it is found mpracticablc for the
exporter to give i'll the preliminary ell
tries the numbers of the various brands
of bales in each lot it will be sufficient if
the numbers are stated in the inspectors
return. Third, the sworn statement of
the exporter required by the regulations
should be made by an active shipper who
has knowledge of the fact. Fourth,
agents or attorneys should not be al
lowed to sign the final entry and oath of
expectation when the exporter himself is
present at the port of shipment.
Secretary Rusk left Washington this
afternoon for Deer Park Md, where he
will Join the President and accompany

FRESH EVIDENCE
secured by the Chicago Police in
the CrOnin Murder Case.

CHICAGO, August 2O.-The police have
secured some important evidence in the
Cronin case. 1t is said to he in effect
that on the night of the murder pair of
horses belonging to O'Sullivan, the ice
man, now in jail as one of Cronin's muir
dcrcrs were attached to one of his ice
wagons and were driven rapidly in the
vicinity in which the murder was com
mittcd by three excited men; that the
horses were driven up in front OF a sa-
loon in Lake View about nine O'Clock !;
that they were covered with foam, and
that the men in the wagon went in and
had drink. 1t had been supposed ever
since the murder, that these horses re-
maincd in the barn all night. The
police admits the substantial correctness
of these statements, but decline to speak
further about the matter, except to say,
that neither Of the men in the wagon is
in Jail.

PHILIP w. MCKINNEY.
dominated by the virginia DeHI-
OcratS for Governor.

Philip Watkins Mckinney was born
in Buckingham county, Virginia, and is
fifty wears of age. He was educated at
Hampden Sydney College and at Judge
Brockcnborough' law school, in Lexing
ton, Virginia. His experience of public
life began early as he was elected to the
general assembly from Buckingham when
but twenty-one years of age. He served
with distinction in that body. When
sectional trouble began he was a strong
Union man, but subsequently went with
his State. He was captain of the Buck
ingham troop. was badly wounded
at the battle of Brandy Station
and incapacitated for further field
duty, but served in crippled condi-
tod to the end Of the war. After
the war he went to Farmville to prac-
ticc his profession, and he still resides
there. Capt. Mckinney was member
of the platform committee from Virginia
at the democratic national conventions Of
1884 and 1883. He has twice been a
presidential elcctor and was an elector

Mr.. Mckinney was a candidate for

THE SOUTH FORK CLUB


PTTsBuRG, Pa, August 2O.-Thc gen
cral impression that the South Fork dam
would never be rebuilt appears to be
erroneous, as there is strong proba-
blity that Fishing Lake" will again be
established in that locality. A member
Of the fishing club of that name said
to-day, that the belief that the South
Fork had been abandoned. as a club,
was mistaken one "The club, he said
could not afford to lose the money it
had invested i'll real estate in that
locality. The property was worth fully
5000, 900, and if the fishing resort was
not rc-cstablishcd, the whole investment
would become almost dead loss. The
intention, however, was not to build
dam of the size of the one destroyed, but
one which would make the lake much
less in size so that, in the event of the
barrier again giving away no destruc-
ton to life and property would follow.
No move in that direction will bc made
until the damage suit now pending
against the stockholders is settled, either
by being paid or compromised. The OBJ
icct is to establish a fair-sizcd pond
capable Of holding good stock of fish.

THE GOLDEN GATE.
Gen. JOhnstOne Jones and wife
Leave for California.


1t is with much regret we announce
that Gen. tombstone Jones and family
leave to-day for San Diego, California;
where they make their future home. We
regret the departure of such cstmabIe
people from our State but the ties ofkin-
drcd who have gone before with assur-
ing prospects for the future, have proven
too strong for the General and his eX-
ccllent wife. They carry with them the
sincere good wishes of hosts of friends
not only in AshevIlc, but throughout
this State and South Carolina, where
they are widely known and universally
esteemed.
Gen. Jones has filled positions of high
Importance and dignity in North Caroli-
ma, and filled them withconspicuous abil-
ity and fidelity. For twelve years he
was Adutant- General ofthe State. Upon
assuming the duties OF that office the
State had no citizensoldiery worthy the
name, but through his unremitting
efforts, great skill, and soldierly qualifi-
cations he organized and established
The State guard, which for efficiency in :
all respects is not surpassed by the troops
ofany State.
He also served term as member of
the Legislature for Buncombe county,
and won high distinctionin that capacity,
proving himself an able, conscientious,
faithful and useful member. His official
record in North Carolina is one which
not only himselfand friends may bcproud,
but the State is very proud of him.
As member of the bar of California
Gen. Jones will deserve high position,
and will prove worthy of the fullest con-
idence of the people, while socially, he
and Mrs. Jones will be an addition which
the best people of their new home will
gladly welcome. May only prosperity
and happiness attend our friends, for
they will richly deserve both. We sin
cerely commend them to the kindcst con-
SldcratlOn OF our California friends.

THE FIRES CHECKED.


HELENA, Montana August 2O.-A
heavy rain, general throughout the ter
ritory, fell all Sunday night and the for
est fires which have been raging for the
last week are checked in most places and
put out in others. The fires originated
from two causes, lightning and camp
fires, and millions of feet of valuable lum-
Der in the territory have been destroyed
as we'll as valuable ranches burnt over.
Owing to the drouth this has proved an
incalculablc loss to the stock men who
have in some instances taken their cattle
into British possessions, where they are
charged good round price for grazing
privileges.

to-day. The assignment is made to VIM.
A. Walton, of this city. The mill lis owned

his consignment of wool. Shortly before
their failure the Boston firm held Dewes'

"SICK UNTO DEATH"
The Fatal sentence in the May
brick Letter Explained.

NEW YORK, August 2O.-Thc New
York attorneys of Mrs. Maybrick re-
ceived this morning from an anony-
nous correspondent a letter explaining
the use Of the expression Il am sick unto
death" in Mrs. Maybricks letter to
Bricrly and upon which Judge Stephen
placed much Importance. The cores
pondent writes: 81 yield to the solici-
tations Of friends to communicate with
you on behalf of Mrs. Maybrick. You
will learn from Southerners that the
sentence, "Sick unto death" used in the
Briefly letter and construed by Judge
Stephen, to mean directly an intent to
kill, is a Southern vcrnacular in common
use among the women of the Gulf and
other States to express any painful i'll
ness. However slight it might be, one of
these women would say, 81 am sick unto
DEATH" though she might be merely sut-
tcrIng from sick headache or sickness
Of the stomach. To express dangerous
illness she would be very apt to say,
"very i'll" or Every sick" The attor-
ncys will submit this evidence to British
Home Secretary Matthews.

PROUD TO MEET MAHONE.
How a COnScriDt OH Guard Greet
ed the virginia General.

Mahone's old soldiers say that he was
the strictcst of disciplinarians, and, as
might he expected, most careful and pro-
vident of the comfort of his men. After
the battle of the Crater" his force was
SO weakened that a regiment was sent to
reinforce it. 1t was a regiment mainly
composed of ConScriptS who were raw.
The first night after it joined, some of the
men were detailed for picket duty on a
part of the line where the utmost quiet
and vigilance were necessary, for the
Union forces were on the alert and press
ing closer and closer. 1t was after mid
night when MahOhe set out to visit his
outposts. What was his astonshment
and wrath as he crossed the little ravinc
which led from the Union line to the
Crater" to hear a voice singing or
shouting a Southern song and to sec out
lined against the sky the figure of a stall
wart sentinel of his own command, who
was marching up and down with the
butt of his gun in the air. Malone
rushed up the slope with barred sword,
and as he got near the soldier exclaimed
in a suppressed voice, half choked with
anger:
what in - are you doing? Who are
you? Where do you belong"
The sentinel stopped, brought his gun
to his shoulder and said:
"Who be you and what be you doin
here? belong to the Fo'th Moth Ca
Iiny Regiment, standin this gyard."
"i'll show you who am," replied the
nfuriated General.
"Wcl, who be YOU" rctortcd the i'm
pei turbablc conscript.
81 am General Malone, in command of
this division. Call the officer of the
guard"
At the mention of that name the senti-
mel lowered his gun and his voice at the
same time, extended his hand and whis-
percd:
General Malone, I'm proud to meet
yer. I'm Fo'th Moth Ca'liny. You'll
find cop'I gyard down yam, but don't
make such clatter or yo'll rouse the
Yanks."
The General meckly sought the officer
