\ Dcniai from sfr. Cleveland.

In his campaign speeches in Georgia
Tom Watson has repeatedly charged
that Mr.. Cleveland declined to allow
his wife to 90 to Richmond several
years ago because he feared she would
be brought in contact with Miss Winnie
Davis. Mr.. Cleveland has written the
following to Clark Howell, national
committeeman from Georgia, i'll reply :;
GRAY GABLES, Buzzard's Bay, Mass Sen. %.
Clark Hoceli. jr., Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir: have been fairly bomba7led for
the last two or three weeks by the reports of
the faschoods which are being circulated By
the peoples party orators N Georgia and other
southern States. calculated to prejudice me IN
the minds of the Southern people. The latest
report comes To me FROM Gainesville III your
Stitc. this evening and represents Candidate
Thomas L. Watson rs saying IN apubicSpcech
that Mrs. Cleveland refused TO attend the nm
yelling of .hc statue Of L. L. Lee becruSc
She feared she wculd there meet Miss Winnie
Davis.
This is entirely new fabrication. A num-
Der of the others have to do, however. with
alleged refusals of my wife or myself to be in
troduccd to Miss Winnie Davis, &c. Another
prolific source of falsehoods OF the stupdest
,scription is in regard to my treatment If
Frederick Douglass while ! was Prcsidentand
he was register OF deeds IN Washington.
There arc some others which ! do not def
nitely recall. These all seem TO be circulated
by active opponents of the democracy, and
their purpose is of course apparent have
not thought it necessary to deny these except
in a very few cases. have thought that
when they assumed proportions worthy of at
tention l would, perhaps, hear from you or
someone who like yOu understands well the
current of Southcil thought on the subject.
Such misrcpr sentatOn is irritating and ex-
ceedingly monstrous. Not one single state
mcnt which | have seen of the kind aboyc re-
ferred to has any truth in it wha ever. except
this. that when Frederick Douglass vas in
public office in the city of Washington, l. as
President of the United States, extended to
him the same courteses. as fa- as public re-
ccptions and matters of that kind are concern
ed. which were extended to other officials OF
the same grade. This. of course, was his due
as a matter of official deccncy and etiquette,
and should have been ashamed to treat him
otherwise.
If in your Judgment you think it well to
make the denial above re erred to you are at
liberty to DO so in any way you think best.
Very truly yours,

prussia and the Vatican.

ROME, Oct. 3.-The Pope to-day gave
an audience to Herr Won Bulow, the
new Prussian Minister to the Vatican,
who was recently appointed to succeed
Herr Schloezer. After the formal audi
ence the Pope had a private CONVERSE
ton with the minister lasting w -oiIls.
The results of Herr Won Bulow's APP
pointment are watched with much IN
terest. There is no doubt that he IS
persona grata at the Vatican, but though
he has the reputation of being a subtitle
diplomat it is not believed that he will
succeed in changing the papal policy
toward France. His position is apecu-
liar one, in view of the alliance that has
Just been formed between the conserva-
tive and centerist Tor Catholic members
of the German Reichstag. 1t is upon
this new cartel party that the German
government depends for the passage OF
its bill to increase the strength OF the
army. The Pope, holding the views
he does toward France, does not desire
an increase in the German army, and it
is thought highly probable in official
circles in Rome that he will endeavor
to prevent the Catholic members of the
Reichstag from voting for the measure.
If he does not, it is pretty certain that
the German government will have to
grant wide concessions to the Catholics
in Germany in return for the support of
the centre party. Dispatches received
here from Berlin state, however, that
in the formation of the cartel party the
advice of the Pope was not asked as TO
the policy to be pursued. The situa-
ton is an interesting one and Herr Won
Bu!ow's efforts will probably be direct
ed to procuring the Pope's adhesion to
the new alliance, with what result re-
mains to be seen.

There is no danger of violence to the

Strange st Dry FROM Georgia.

A special from Cordele, Ga, says:
The embalmed body of a man, upright
n glass-faced metallic coffin, holding
Il gold-headed cane in the hand and
with profusion ofdiamonds and other
iewelry, decorates the parlor of Mrs.
Geo. w. Marvin's residence in that
town. The embalmed body is that of
her husband, who died on the 10th day
of last July. DR.. Marvin was the
wealthiest man in Cordele. be was
president of the bank and was worth
something over 100000.
Dir. Marvin and his wife were inf
dels. though but few people knew it
until his death last July Mrs. Mar
vim was wild with grief ut the time OF
her husbands death, and made the
startling announcement that she had
made solemn compacts, with her hus-
band before his death, agreeing that
they would both enter oblivion at as
near the same time as could be easily
arranged by means ofsuicide. She still
contcmplates taking her own life rs
soon as she has made some arrange
ments for the permanent interment OF
her husbands remains.
When the doctor died the body was
followed to the grave in the little GENE
terry by all the people of the town. -Four
days after the burial, in the darkness
of the night, there was another funeral
procession, but no carriages followed
the hearse, and no one OH foot accom-
panied the dead except those who
helped to dig the earth from around
the coffin and bear the corpse back to
the place from which the first process
sion had started. In the dead of the
night few trusted friends, whom Mrs.
Marvin had requested to act, went to
the cemetery and brought back the
body.
Next morning an embalmer arrived
from New Orleans and embalmed the
BODY. At the same time an Italian sculp-
tor began preparing plans for an i'm
mense mausoleum to be erected i'll Cor
dele in memory of DR.. Marvin.
If the original idea had been carried
out the town would have had the
most magnificent tomb in Georgia. But
Mrs. Marvin has given up the idea OF
building the tomb, and substituted the
building of college as living monu-
ment to her husbands memory. Mrs.
Marvin refuses to separate the jewellery
and the remains Of her husband.
To bury him in the cemetery she
fears the body will be exhumed and the
Jewels stolen. Therefore the body is
kept in the parlor of her house and
will stay there uutil she decides upon
some sort of tomb for the remains of
her husband and herself. When such
is prepared by her own hands she says
she will Join him.

Wntcr t,rom the City wells.

While the quality Of the drinking
water supplied to the citizens of Alex.
andria by the hydrants is topic of
general discussion by every body inn
mnediately interested, it is a matter of
surprise to one of your subscribers liy-
ing miles beyond the city's limits that
no one has publicly questioned the
quality Of the water of The public wells
from which so many hundreds OF your
people are daily supplied. Why should
not its fitness as Il beverage be called
into question. since every body knows
very well how possible il is for it to be
largely contaminated and rendered I'M
healthy by its peculiar drainage. Wa

or 48 hours and then taste and smell it.
The numerous impurities and sources
of diseases incidental to ali cities which
are continually passing from the surface
and percolating through the earth's
strata into the underlying springs more
or less contaminate all the well water
and render it unfit for drinking And
when to these impurities are added
those which are constantly entering and
mingling with the same springs from
score of grave yards, some of them filed
to repletion, and others fast filling up
with the city's dead, the danger be-
comes so much the greater, and the ne
cessity so much more apparent. And
while there may be good and sufficient
reasons for watching the sources of the
hydrant water, the evil consequences
of drinking the well water should not
be overlooked. Our idea may be scout
ed at and pooh poohed at by the patrons
of the pump, but it is nevertheless
tenable one and will bear the test of
the most critical scientific investiga-
ton. PRO Bono PUBLICO.

He is sadly mistaken. 1t would not

EPISCOPAL CoNvENTIoN.-Ihe LII
ennial convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church in the United States
will meet in Baltimore on Wednesday
next and will probably remain in ses-
sion during the remainder of the month.
The general convention is the great
representative body of the church,
meeting every three years. 1t has two
houses, sitting separately, except when
occasionally in joint session to consid-
er missionary work or the like. The
house of bishops sits with closed doors,
making. however, through committee,
a daily statement of the proceedings.
The number of bishops is about seventy.
Its president is always the bishop Oldest
in office. VINO is at this time the Right
Rev. John Williams, bishop of Connec-
ticut. The house of clerical and lay
deputies is composed of an equal num-
Der of clergymen and laymen, four of
each being elected by the convention of
each diocese to represent it. This will
give from fifty-two organized dioceses
house of four hundred and sixteen
members. The Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix,
rector of Trinity church, New York,
was elected as its president in 1883, and
it is thought that he will again be
chosen. The revision of the prayer
book will receive much time and con-
sideration during the convention.
