BRUNSWICK, Ga, Aug. 5.-Bartow
Fluker, wanted here for attempted wife
murder, was killed at Jessup this morn
ing by Marshal Goodbread, while endeav-
oring to arrest him. Goodbread nabbed
Fluker near a coal chute. and proceeded
toward the iail when Fluker tore loose
and ran. Goodbread pursued and cor
nered him In a hammock, when Fluker
turned, knife in hand, to battle for liberty.
Goodbread opened fire, one SHOT piercing
Fluker's neck. Fluker finched, and then
sprang like a tiger on Goodbread. Both
fell, each struggling for the revolver,
which meant death to the man winning it.
Holding the pistol with one hand, and
with the other pressed to his mouth,
Goodbread opened his knife, Fluker
meanwhile chewing his finger covering
the pistol until the bones lay bare. The
knife opened, Goodbread plunged it re
peatedly into Fluker's neck until the head
swung from the body. holding by a thread.
Releasing himself from the death clutch,
.Goodbread staggered to town and re
ceivcd medical aid. The %coroner's yer
dict was UNSUITABLE homicide.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug, 5.-Among the
umo today relative to the war in sugar
prices was one to the effect that Spreckles'
action was the result OF an agreement
with the sugar trust and it was also
thought that the cut was in union with
the policy of the combination which is
supposed to be striking at out
side refneries in this city through
Spreckels. IL was also reported that
Spreckels had raised the price of gran
ulated sugar TO four and one sixteenth
cents per pound, which is the same price
asked by other refners. Bob reports,
however. were said to be erroneous by
one of the Spreckels company. When
asked if there had been any advance he
said decidedly there had not been; that
they had not reduced sugar to four cents a
pound and hat 1t had not been below the
price hat other refineries were selling
lou and one-sixteenth cents. lie fur
Their stated. however. that they had
sold a quantity of sugar Tuesday
at 4 cents per pound without lowering
their price to that point. He said they
were carrying a large quantity of sugar
they did not want and sold it at 4 cents
per pound simply to get rid OF it. The
fact that Spreckles sold sugar today at
4 Lie cents gave rise to the rumor that
they had raised the price. As their price
has been 4 I-16 cents, the firm says they
can hardly be said to have made an ad-
vance, because they sold a quantity at 4
cents to get rid OF it. The rumor that
the sugar trust had anything to do with
the cut in price was denied and the state
ment was made that the Spreckels COM
pany sold a quantity at a reduction purely
in their own interests.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Dr. L. n. Case, a
well known physician, was secretly ar
rested last night charged with violating
the laws regarding the manufacturing OF
opium. In his rooms were found jars
containing aqueous oplun." 1t is
learned that he sent some liquid to San
Francisco for sale to the Chinese. but it is
not known that he sold any. He says he
has been experimenting for years in its
manufacture. and thinks he has arrived
at results which will revolutionize the
opium trade. He asserts that he has
only been experimenting and had legal
advice that he was not violating the law.
He was released on his own recognizance,
awaiting a report from Washington Oh
the case.

LINCOLN LOSES
The Next by
Twenty-seven Votes.
COMMANDMENT Chief to be
Elected Today.
Growth of the Woman's Relief
Corps Last Year.

DETROIT. Aug. 5.-The afternoon ses-
c~ussion regarding the selection OF the
place of holding the next encampment.
After a long, heated debate the matter
was settled on the first ballot by Wash
ton securing a majority OF twenty-seven
votes over Lincoln.
Resolutions we're unanimously adopted
requesting congress- to pass a law author
izing the interstate commerce commission
to permit railroads to give reduced rates
to all soldiers and sailors Of the war of
lS6l-65 attending national encamp-
ments.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
limiting the length of the parade at all
future encampments to two miles.
The location of the next encampmeut
having been settled, the interest OF the
encampment is now chiefly conferred in
the election OF commander-in-chiet Capt.
| John Palmer of New York. A. G. Weis-
sert of Wisconsin and Col. w. X.
Smedberg of California are the leading
candidates, and it is safe to say that one
of these will be elected. The long and
stubborn contest in the New York deleea-
ton between Palmer and Hedges ended
today in a victory for Palmer. after sew
eral caucuses had been held Tomorrow
battle promises to be a verv interesting
three cornered struggle. with the chances
somewht fEOr of Palmer since he is
to receive the united support of the
New York delegation.
The race question" will be settled to-
morrow. 1t Is understood that the major
ity OF the special committee will oppose
the RELOCATION of the colored comrades TO
separate departments. The recommend
alton o. Commander Veazey's annual
address today was unfavorable to the col
ored comrades. but the sentiment Of the
encampment seems to be against separate
Departments.

The mania for getting married which
besets so many domestic servants often
results in their finding themselves either
widowed or deserted in the course of a
few years, with a number Of young chill
dren to provide for. They are generally
both able and willing to return to domes-
tic service, but that way Of earning a liv-
ing is barred to them by the necessity Of
looking after their membranes at
home. Knowing of many such cases, a
benevolent gentleman down In Lanca-
shire proposes the establishment of homes
which would take cart Of the children,
the mothers contributing toward their
support in proportion to their own earn
ings.
The author of this scheme of relief be-
lieves that 1t would be gratefully ac-
cepted by the mothers as q most well
come change from the ~unceasing cares
which now make up their daily lives.
At the same time it would benefit SO.
city by increasing the supply of women
servants, a want which becomes more
pressing every year. As a further help
toward that object it is proposed hat all
the girls admitted into the homes should
be specially trained for domestic service
in its several departments. This would
enable them to go out into the world al
a comparatively early age, and to helI
their mothers instead Of taxing theil
scanty resources.
The main difficulty of realizing tn,
scheme, which certainly has a taking
look, is in raising the funds. In the ma
ture of things the homes would not b
wholly self supporting, ever If the ex
penses were cut down in all possibl
ways. 1t would be necessary, therefore
to supplement the income derived from
the mothers contributions by subscrip
tons collected from the charitable pub
lie, and one hositrtes to advocate anothea
appeal to that necessarily solicited quar-

derailed about sixty miles from here.
There were seventeen men and two
women on the engine. which was taking

more or less injured. The first person
extricated was Alice Robinson. Escaping
steam had cooked the flesh on her face,

DETROIT, Aug. 5.-The Woman's Re,
lief Corps opened its ninth annual con
~vention today. The attendance was large
and the reports of the various officers
showed the order to be in a fl~ourishing
condition. The convention was called to
order by National President Mary Sears
McHenry of Denison, la. The opening
address OF the president was devoted
chiefly to the growth of the order during
the past year. The membership" said
the president, has steadily increased
during the year. aud the order is repre-
scented in every state in the Union except
Idaho and Alabama, and all the terri
tories. except Indian and Alaska. Even
Canada claims its post and auxiliary
corps. During the year 1862 corps, with a
membership OF 7, 200, have been instituted.
There are auxiliary to the posts of colored
veterans, twelve corps IN Virginia, four
in the Carolinas, three in Florida, three
in Louisiana, two in Tennessee. one zach
in Georgia, Arkansas aud Mississippi;
making a total of twenty-seven corps
aside from those belonging to the regu-
larly organized departments. Seven of
these nave been instituted this year. The
most ~princely gift is the appropriation by
the Ohio legislature of S25, 600 for the
erection of a cottage upon the home
grounds. We asked for 81, 500 and they
gave us S25, 600. This is the highest
recognition OF the Woman's Relief
Corps and its work ever given. The re-
port of the pension committee shows that
they still keep the needs of our army
nurses before congress. The failure, year
after year. in the efforts to procure pen
sions for these deserving women is a mat
ter of deep regret 10 all, but | trust their
endeavors will eventually be awarded )"

100000 Rubles for a Throne,

If the prince is playing king in
Bulgaria because he loves the sense
of power, and it is exceedingly diff
fcult to believe that he can have any
other motive,-it is still true that
Stambolof is manager and holds the
box-of1ce, and that he is likely to
change the "star" whenever it pleas
es his fancy; provided, of course,
the Bulgarian audiences still come
to the play. In other words, pro
vided the various factions struggling
to get control do not break up the
theater and throw the company and
the properties into the street.
1t is also equally true that M.
Stefan Stamboloff is to-day by far
the most commanding personality in
his country Never soldier, and
always a politician, with only three
years schooling at Odessa, he be-
came when hardly grown Russian
correspondent, and for some years
thereafter Russian agent. Rising
rapidly by his own force of charac.
ter, he was appointed regent by
Alexander when he abdicated, and
now when only thirty-s six years Of
age occupies more of the nervous
attention of the governments Of
eastern Europe than any other one
man west of the Bosphorus.
Stambolof's plan for governing
was simple and to the point. 1t
called for five millions of rubes and
a king. Who this king might be, or
where he should hail from, was a
matter of detail Anybody but a
Russian or a Turk would do. And
so numerous offers were made in a
confidential way to various gentle
men who thought they had an es-
pecial, divine gift for reigning, and
and who lacked the opportunity on
ly because of the depleted condition
of their bank accounts. At last a
fond and ambitious mother and an
obliging son with an almost unlimit-
ed reserve fund-unlimited for the
ordinary needs of ife-took the bait
1t was not, however, a harmonious
family arrangement; for it was we'll
known that the young princes uncle,
the Duke of SAKE Coburg, did wha,
he could to prevent the final agree
ment; he being an older and wiser
diplomat, and having had long and
varied experience in the ups and
downs Of several see. saw govern
ments. Among other things, the
duke boldly stated that it was only
a question Of money with the Bull
garian regents, and that Ferdinand
would leave the throne when his
guldens were gone, as Alexander
had left, to whom the Bulgarian gov
eminent then owed three millions of
francs. The dukes prophecy is not
yet fulfilled. If, however, the state
mens Of reliable Bulgarians is to be
taken, a very considerable portion of
Ferdinand's private estate (Variously
