private life. His most pronounced admirers
cannot say his administration was success,
but his most ultra opponents must give him
credit for being honest and for doing what
he had been induced to think was right.
His veto of the dependent pensions bill ard
his low tariff messages to Congress were
worthy OF the highest praise OF al! the right
thinking men Of the country, but their COCO
effect upon his parry was more than ohseV
by that of his ill-adVised attempt to make
himself better than his party, and Dy MS per
sisteuce ia making the civil service rules
even more Objectionable than the civil serv-
ice Law. Though he wss utterly devoid Oh
Dersoual magnetism, the people ofihe South

FEW SOUTHERN people we're observed
among the immense crowd of strangers in
Washington to-day, hut what those few saw
and heard was not calculated to make them
desire to pTolong their visit. In some Of
the newspapers Of the city they saw pic
lures of the regiment Mr.. Harrison COM
mauded in the civil war; in others that
negroes met 1.-THE oversee;s who bad once
laid the la h on their backs, or had set blood
hounds on their trail, )" ana in others that the
man was there who "emptied his muske'
into and plugged his bnyonet through The
breast of James Jackson in Alexandria"
Everything they ssw and oil they heard re-
minded them of internecne strife, revived
memories they had tlied to ohliterate, and
induced them to fear that even now, twenty
four Yeas after the last shot in it was fired,
the cruel war is not yet over.

WASHINGTON, March The rain which
get in on Saturday evening continued almost
without interruption until about day light
this morning, when the wind arose and the
rain ceased for time. But about 9 o'clock
it began to drizzle again. The sky has been
overcast throughout the day, with heavy
showers, and the streets are wet and disa
greeab;e.
The population Of the city has been stead
lily augmented for aeveral days, the traius
and boats having been kept busy, and to-
day Pennsylvania avenue presented mass
of moving humauity. The decorations have
been OF the most elaborate character, and
nothing was omitted calculated to render

News from the Swamp.

New YORK, Dec. ga Savannah special
says: Twenty negroes were killed in the
riot at and around Jessup yesterday before
darkness came on. The Georgia Hussars,
of this city, under command of W. w. Cor
don, are patrolling the village this morn
ing There is intense excitement over the
killing of Deputy Marshal Barnhill and
Lumberman w. H. Woods. Marshal D.
Leggett and Station Agent M j. Woods
were badly wounded, but are resting easily
to-day, and it is expected that both will re
cover. While the negroes were retreating
to the swamp several of their white pur-
suers were slightly wounded, Marshal
Leggett and another citizen fatally. Armed
achievements from the neighboring vii
lagos arrived promptly, and with nearly all
the able bodied whites of Jessup and many
friendly negroes, descent was made on
the rioters. The negroes are well supplied
with revolvers and made sortie from one
side of the swamp. They stood their
ground for very short time, as the scrub
trees did OF afford much protection. Sew
eral were shot down in the scramble for
shelter on their retreat to a dense cane
brake. During the night an occasional shot
was heard in the village. A negro was
found dead in an alley few moments ago,
and two others of the wounded are re-
ported dying.
Later-The most reliable information Is
that ten people have been killed al Jessup.
A special to the Morning Ne,cs says that
everything is quite there and company
of citizens has been organized to guard the
town against invasion.
The coroner held an inquest this after
noon and the jury returned verdict charg-
ing the negroes Brewer and Rayford with
numbering Marshal Bonehill and young
Woods. As to the killing of the negroes in
jail, the jury returned verdict of death
by parties unknown.

After Brewer.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec 26-The following
was received from Jessup: A posse of
twenty Emen, under the command of S.
White, has left for Lumber City to inter
cept Brewer and his gang, who, it is ru-
mored, have gone there for reinforcements.
Brewers mother lives at Lumber City,
and it is suspected that il he gets out Of
McMillan's swamp he will go to his
mothers. Firing along the picket line
keeps up, but it is principally by boys. A
crowd of armed men just returned from a
trip to the swamp, report that four colored
men were found dead, but gave no names.
1t is said they did not know the negroes.
The jail was broken into early
this morning, and two negro prison
ners riddled with bullets. Another
negro was found at home shot
through the heart and one with flesh
wound in the shoulder. It is reported that
others have been killed, but the officers
have not found them. Search for the bodies
will be kept up all day. The negroes are
quitting their homes and going to other
towns. A large number of negroes were
taken from their homes this morning and
whipped, many of them being prostitutes.
a crowd of white men went to several
houses after breakfast this morning and
compelled the negroes to leave. They pun
ished some of them. The Hussars have
started for Savannah, but an infantry COM
pany of Brunswick will remain till to-
morrow. The swamp where Brewers
gang is hiding will be searched this after
noon and if the negroes are found, a lynch
ing will probably follow. The coroner is
now holding an inquest on the dead bodies.

Revisinn of the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The first OF the
series of tariff hearings mapped out by the
House committee on ways and means was
held this morning. Gentlemen interested
in metals, ore and coal are being permitted
to give their views. The committee en-
deavored to draw from n. NJ. Moore and
Powell Stockhouse, of Michigan, informa-
ton as to the amount of labor and capital
contained in ton of iron ore. The res
ponses, however, were unsatisfactory, they
declaring their inability to give a correct
answer, owing to the varied customs of
different miners.
J. j. Dominies, of New York, urged
against reduction of the duty on iron ore.
Galusha Grove, of Pennsylvania, advo-
Gated reduction on coal, but maintained
that a proviso should be added declaring
that the reduced duty should apply only to
the products of such foreign countries as
did not urge an abolition of the tariff, but
that it should be fixed at rate to cover
the difference in wages in the United
States and Canada.
Charles F. Mayer, president of the Con
solidated Coal company, of Maryland, pro-
tested against any reduction in the coal
duty. He did not want to put the Ameri-
can laborer down on the same plane as the
British laborers. A reduction of the tariff
would have that effect.
At the evening session Oscar Reen,
representing the Newark, N. j., Smelling
works, endeavored to impress upon the.
committee the necessity of maintaining
the present law in relation to the importa-
ton of lead ore when containing val
liable proportion of precious metals.
L. E. Holden, Of Cleveland, Ohio, took
the other view and contended that lead ore,
even when it contains ore of the more
precious metals, should pay its share of
the duty on imports.
Hon. H. Townsend, of Colorado, pro-
tested against the finding of the secretary
of the treasury as unfair to the miners and
mine owners of the west.
Hon. Mr.. Bartine, of Nevada, said the
people of his region. irrespective of politics
or parties, were high tariff men so far as
lead was concerned, and he argued in sup
port of the resolution recently offered by
him in the House, requesting the secretary
of the treasury to modify his lead ore
decision The rulings should be rectified
without delay. The resolutions offered
by him should be considered before tariff
| bill was presented because it was well
known that bill gave rise to long-winded
debates and might precipitate deadlock
upon the House. He said he had consulted
with President Harrison on the subject
and that the President had fully sympath-
lied with the people Of the west but he did
not feel at liberty to go behind the rulings
| of his predecessor.

An Anti Railway Decision.

New YORK, Dec. 26.-Judge Patterson.
of the supreme court, to-day handed down
a decision in the suit of certain stock hold-
ers of the old Houston & Texas Central
railway company, continuing the iniunc-
ton restraining the Central Trust COM
pany, G. P. Huntington and others from
issuing stock of the reorganized Houston
& Texas Central company. The plan OF
reorganization provided that the stock
holders might have an equal amount OF
stock in the new company upon the
payment of Is per cent. If they did
not come in on these terms the Southern
Pacific railroad company was to
have the privilege of taking the euntaken
shares on better terms! Judge Patterson
says in his decision: SIT is apparent that
Huntington and his associates undertook
to acquire the ownership of the railway in
order to make it tributary to their own
lines. The old stockholders are entitled
to the details of the Indebtedness in order
to make effectual any judgment" He pro-
hibits the distribution of the stock Of the
new corporation until the trial of the &C

Especial to THE HERALD-Exam1ner Dispatch
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 26. = The
elopement of the seventeen year-old daugh-
ter Of Sam K. Small, the noted evangelist,
is the universal topic of conversation, and
social circles are stirred up as seldom be-
fore. She was married last night to
William M. Graham, of Gainesville, Ga,
the home of the young lady, the ceremony
being performed by Rev. G. W. Dumbell,
rector of St Paul's Episcopal charch.
1t is romantic affair throughout. The
husband was her fathers private secretary
when she was about twelve years of age
and her parents discovering that warmer
feeling than mere friendship existed be
tween them, sent the young lady to Mill
ersburg, where she attended a seminary
Thither followed her lover and being de-
tected in holding clandestine meetings, she
became the subject of special prayer in
public, which created great sensation at
the time. She was taken from this school
and placed in Centenary college at Cleve-
land. Here also the lover came to meet
her and abouta year ago she returned home.
Young Graham had begun the practice of
law and soon afterwards was appointed
official court stenographer OF the circuit.
Several plans were formed for an elope-
ment, but all were frustrated. Tuesday
night plan was formed which was car
ried out successfully. Professor L. B.
Robson, principal of Carterville, Ga,
academy, is a boarder at the residence of
Rev. Sam Jones. To him the young couple
went for assistance He formed plot
which was carried out to the letter. DR..
Mayes, mutual friend, came to Chatta-
nooga Tuesday night, under pretense that
he was going to Atlanta When
he reached here he Immediately ar
ranged the preliminaries. A license was.
procured and Rev. DR.. Backman secured
to perform the ceremony. Graham took
his sweetheart out with Christmas horse
back riding party and succeeded in getting
separated without arousing suspicion. The
couple then rode rapidly to Rogers station,
where they left their horses and boarded
the train for Chattanooga. They were
Joined by Professor Robson, who ostensi-
bly, left Gainesville on a trip to visit
relatives in this city. They drove directly
to the study of Rev. DR.. Bachman, whose
suspicious had been aroused and
who declined to perform the ceremony,
and by giving the age of the bride at
twenty-five years succeeded in having the
ceremony performed. The party drove to
the leading hotel after the wedding, where
they had private supper, and kilograms
were sent to the brides father informing
him of the event. They will return to
Gainesville today. The bride is beauti-
full girl with a classic face, dark brown
hair and eyes. The groom is a smooth
shaved and boyish looking.

BOXING NIGHT IN LONDON.
The Theatres will Make a New Departure and
Produce Old Established Fayorites.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
LONDON, Dec. 90 by cable to the New
York Herald = There was a time when
boxing night was one of the recognized oc-
casions for the production of new plays. 1t
was the rule for nearly every place of
amusement to put forth on that night
new bill for the editication, or reverse, of
it's patrons; but we have changed all that
and with the exception of pantomimic
houses, the theatres will tempt fortune
this evening with pieces of already estab-
lished popularity. Drury Lane and Her
Maiesty's lead the way in spectacular pan
tomime. At both houses will be found pop
ular favorites, tuneful music, pretty faces
and gorgeous dresses. Harry Nichols and
Augustus Harris have done their best at
1.-THE Lane" to fill the gap poor Blanchard's
death has caused, while at Her Majesty's
Richard Henry and Clement Scott have de-
vised sweet worded lyrics for the old story
of Cinderella The names of Walter
Slaughter and Edward Solomon vouch for
the popular character of the music at both
houses. Covent Garden relies upon
picked circus troupe and pantomime
played by children. The great attraction
will be trained lion, which rides on horse
back and performs various feats of the
ring. Barnum makes bold bid for his
share of holiday makers by giving three
complete and distinct performances in the
morning, afternoon and evening.
