one of the Sailors of the Nevada
Waiting Around the Court for His
Money.
Judge speer having been detained in
Macon another day the United States
court did not meet yesterday as was ex-
peeted. y telegram wan received yester-
day morning from Judge speer instruct
ing the clerk to adjourn the court until
this morning at 10 o'clock 1t is thought
that the conspiracy cases which detained
the court in Macon on Monday. DELAYED
Il another day.
One Of the sailors of the bark Nevada,
which was libelled here nearly three years
ago, was around the United States court
house yesterday waiting to see Judge
Speer in hopes that some decision would
be rendered in the case at this term Of the
court. 1t is said he is the only one of the
sailors left here. some OF them having died
and the others weary of the waiting. hav-
ing left the city. The money accruing
from the sale of the vessel and its ap-
purtenances Is now in the registry of the
court. and those interested are waiting
a decision of the case and a distribution
of the proceeds. There seems to have
been some ground for a belief that the
sailors would get a share of 1t. or part
of the wages due them, although they
were charged with having mutinied, and
some of them waited around the city for
a long time. Curious enough the bark went
to sea with a cargo of cotton and was
lost in a storm. The matter may be de-
cided and the money distributed at this
term of the court.

1NGERsoLL on SHAKESPEARE.
The Famous Orator to Lecture Mt
the Theater Tonight.

the Theater Tonight.
Col Robert C. IngersoI win lecture at
the theater tonight on Shakespeare.
At so years of age, Col. Ingerson is still
a young man. He is in the full flush OF
manhood. In this age of dyspeptic men it
is refreshing to look upon his wholesome
! personality, while his mind has retained
all the electrical brightness and vigor
which first attracted the attention of the
world, and his eloquence still has its
famed silver tone and enchanting power
Time seems to have fully matured the rich
powers with which nature generously en-
bowed him.
OF the worlds noted men, Col. Ingersoll
is one of the most modest. To nature he
gives the credit of whatever qualities of
mind and body he possesses, and, unlike
many other distinguished Americans, he
has never proclaimed himself a 'self-made'
man. 1t is this inherent sympathy with ma
ture that has made him universally pop
ular. BY even those who have most Wig
orously opposed the views of the great
agnostic, he is warmly admired as a man.
Among his army of close friends, he
numbers some of the most eminent di-
vines of the country, including such men
as the Rev. DIR. Henry Nj. Field, of the ia
nous family of that name. 1t is not against
individuals that Col Ingersoll makes
war; it is against Institutions, and his
love of truth and justice would as readily
make him the champion of priest and
preacher as the iconoclast. Above all
things, Col Ingersoll loves liberty and
nothing more than intellectual hospitality.
Stuart Robson will be seen at Satur-
days matinee and Saturday night in

playing to the largest audiences this year

folt was made as soon as it was an
nounced he was to play here to have him
present ''rhe Henrietta" and Manager

A shipper Charges That Delay in
Sailing Caused Him "a Loss of $50
Dollars.
Another libel suit was filed in the United
States court yesterday, that of F. Wood
run. Jr., against the Norwegian bark
Folkvang, Y. A. Anderson, master. The
Folkvang. he states, was in Liverpool
Oct. q. 1894. and he contracted with the
master to bring a cargo of $50 tons Of
salt to Savannah. Without any excuse for
a delay he states, the vessel was held at
Liverpool until Nov "a, of last year, so
that his cargo arrived in Savannah too
late to be sold during the season, and he
thereby sustained a loss of $3.50. 1t was i'm
possible to make the sale the complainant
states, except at great loss, and he has
hbeled the bark for this amount through
his attorneys, Messrs. Barrow & Osborne.
The summons was served on the vessel
yesterday by Deputy Marshal Dayton of
the United States court. and she will be
detained until bond is given.
A libel has also been filed against the
steamer Pender. Capt. w. NJ. Williams.
Mr.. John ORourke, charging that it is
due him S64.25 repairs. The Pender has
also been seized by the deputy marshal.
She is a small boat that has been used

ON THE FIELD OF HONOR.
Duel Fought Between Two
Noted Statesmen of
France.
Deputy Mirman Slightly Wounded by
M. Gadaud, His Fiery
Antagonist.

PARIS. FRANCE, June ga duel was
fought to-day between NJ. Gadaud, ex-
Minister of Agriculture, and M. Leon
Mirman, Radical Socialist member of the
Deputies for the First District of Rheims.
M. Mirman, who is conscript, gained
notoriety through his protest against being
confined in the barracks during the recent
election of a President in succession to
M. Casimir Perier.
During visit lately of M. Gadaud to
Rheims. the municipal authorities pre-
sented to him protest against their being
deprived of representation through NJ.
Mirman's being obliged to serve in the
army.
To this protest NJ. Gadaud replied that
NJ. Mirman oughtnot to shirk his duty but
should do his share of military service. NJ
Mirman thereupon addressed to NJ Gadaud
an insulting letter which led to he en-
counter to-day.
M. Gadaud resigned his portfolio in the
Cabinet in order to regain his personal
liberty and then challenged NJ. Mirman tc
fight duel. The latter accepted the
challenge and chose swords as the weapons
The latest version of the duel is to the
effect that M. Gadaud was not hurt, but
that Deputy Mirman, who appeared on the
field in a private's uniform, received 6
slight wound in the wrist.
NJ. Mirman's seconds were NJ. Milleran
radical socialist in the Chamber o.
Deputies, and NJ Pierre Richard, &
Boulangist Republican.
M. Francois Dusoiler, a Republican
Senator, and NJ. Jean Barthout, Republic
can Deputy, acted for NJ. Gadaud
