Mr. Da via So Decide-Iter Letter to
Ue Confederate Veterans and
People of the South Statin
Why She Selects That
; City As Ita Final Rest-lug-
Plaee.
Richmond. Va . Juy 13. The Davis
Monument Asssciation and the Cham
ber of Commerce committees consist
ing of Gen Jos. R Anderson, Mayor J.
Taylor ELlyeon, Gen. Peyton Wise,
Col John B. Gary and Judge George
L. Christiau, nave received the follow
ing letter from Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
which accompanied a copy of an open
letter sent out addressed to the veter
ans and people of the Southern States:
'Tnrougn you 1 return the grateful
acknowledgement of my children aod
myself to President J. B. Pu cell and
the Chamber of Commerce of Richmond
as well as to the State of Virginia, for
the many cordial utterances they have
made regarding ex-President Davis.
While he lived and strove with a
powerful foe, their morl support was
equal to their substantial aid, and
went very far towards strengthening
his soul for the conflict, unequal as it
was. ln answer to your Invitation, I
yield my husband's mortal remains
to the care of Virginia,secure in the cer
tainty that he will rest among friends
who stood as firm in defeat as they did
in the dawn of the Confederate States'
existence, and prefer Richmond as the
place of his Interment.''
The question or a site lor a mauso
leum and for a monument is now one of
absorbing interest and various sugges
tions are being made, but as Richmond
has said to Mrs. Davis that she would
be free to select , any site she chose,
nothing will ba done in this matter
until she is able to confer with the peo
pie. It is believed that Mrs. Davis
wishes i he body to rest in the grounds
of the Davis mansion, corner - of
Twelfth and Clay streets, and it is
thought that she will prefer to have the
monument also in that section of the
city. Considerable money has already
been raised for the monument, and It
is expected the' South "will generally
contribute.
Mrs. Davis' open letter accompany
ing the letter above mentioned is as
follows:
To the Veterans and People of the South
ern. States:
"After much anxious thought I have
finally decided to give to Virginia the
care of my husband's mortal body, and
feel that my reasons should be made
public , as he was in many sondes the
property of the whole country. Imme
dlately after the death of ex President
Jefferson Davis, Louisiana expressed
her desire to keep his hallowed re
mains for all time, but she Claimed only
the right to guard him until some per
manent place could be selected for his
rest. The military organizations of
New Orleans bore him with filial grief
and splended pageant to the tomb of
the Army of Nor khern Virginia, where
they have guarded him by night and
day for eighteeu mouths, and the
gratitude of my . children and myself
is too great for words. I asked a year
for consideration and consultutation
with my family. Eighteen months
have nearly expired, and 1 feel that
the-matter should be decided and set
at rest now.
"Mississippi claimed preference be
cause Mr. Davis belonged to her by
ritrhtofthi seventy -nine years' resi
dence within her borders, and the sixty
years of service to the State of his
adoption, during which she conferred
upon him, unsolicited, every office iq
her gift save one As her citizen,
comrade in arms, congressional repre
sentative, senator, general in-chiel and
President, she felt her's to be the first
claim.
"Tennessee urged that in her State,
after the war, he had found occupation,
hone and troops of friends, and there
his dead had been burned.
"Alabama remembered that within
her borders he was elected President of
the Confederate States: there he had
been inaugurated; that Montgomery
had been the first "cap tal, and that
from her lips had issued the first gen
eral invitation to break the silence
which he had observed since our de
feat; that she had received him with
such enthusiasm as has been manifest
ed to conquerors, but was never before
accorded to a disfranchised citizen,
powerless to give aid or confer; favors.
Georgia claimed him and has con
stantly renewed the request, because
his father had long been a citizen oi
the state. There the ex President had
received the same royal welcome which
Alabama had extended; and lastly, she
pleaded her great love tor him as a
reason for gran ting the request.
"Kentucky expressed her pride in
being the State of his birth and urged
her claims. .
"Virginia asked for his honored re
mains because the most strenuous
efforts of his life had been made upon
her soil and in defense of Richmond as
the capital of the Confederate States
At short intervals throughout the last
eighteen months she has renewed her
tender insistence that he should rest
among the heroic dead of all the States
who fell ln defense ol the uoniederacy
She urged the fact that he did not, In
the fullness oi his fama. belong ex
clusively to any part of the country
Everv hillside about Richmond would
tell of the valorous resistance which he
initiated and directed with tireless vig
ilance as Chief Magistrate; that there
he received generous and unwavering
Hunnort in the darkest hour or our un
fortunate country's defeat.
"All these claims have touched my
ht art and contended together for the
mastery.. It has been hard to give up
the hope of dwelling near my husband

ndications are that tomorrow will wit
ness o e of the largest Democratic
gatherings ever assembled in the Buck
eye state. Although the preliminary
meetings ol all the committees will be
held tomorrow, the convention proper
will not meet until 10 a. m. Wednesday.
lion. Allan W. Thurman, son of the
Old Roman," is to be temporary
chairman, as this selection is made by
the stat central committee. It is ap
parently all, except the friends of the
other candidates, that Governor James
E. Campbell will be renominated on
the first ballot, although the friends of
the Hon. Laurence Neal still Insist that
their candidate has a fighting chance.
Hamilton county will cast a solid vote for
Meal, unless the strenuous efforts that
are being made by the Campbell men
to have the renominatlon go to the
Governor by acclamation should finally
nduce Neal and Kline to withdraw in
the interest of harmony,and the feeling
against Campbell among the Hamilton
county delegates is so strong, however,
that it Is a very sanguine man indeed
who would predict harmony in Wed
nesday's convention. Gov. Campbell's
friends are complaining of thecarnard,
which they say is being circulated by
the enemies . of the Governor, to the
effect that he contemplates declining
the nomination after winning the fight.
and that the Campbell men are theu to
throw the nomination to John A. Mc
Mahont, of Davton. The story receives
no general credience.
Congressman elected Thos. L. John
son, oi Cleveland, has returned from
Europe, and has wired that he will be
in Cleveland today. It is reported that
he will work in the interest of Neal.
THE BLACK REPUBLIC.
Statement That Hay tl Desire to
Sever Relations With the United
States -Failure of the Balti
more Fruit Company.
New York, July 13. -The Atlas line
mail steamer Atlas, from Port Lemon,
arrived here this afternoon. Late in
June the Atlas touched at Hayti, and
according to her officers it wat learned
that Fred Douglass, United States Min
ister to Hayti, had left his post at Port
au Prince,because the Haytian Ciovern-
ment did not care to recognize the rep
resentative of the United States, and
that it was rather the desire of the
"Black Republic to break off all inter
course with this 'i country. The Hay
tian Government,, it was said, fears the
United States,and In order to avoid in
terference of any kind, this Govern
ment would sacrifice official intercourse
with it. There had been no report of
a revolution when the Atlas touched
at Hayti, and no news of that country
was received on the return trip, when
the steamer put intoKingston,Jamaica
except that Legitime was still there
and that he was growing in favor. The
Haytian s prefer him to Hyppolite and
only await his word to institute another
revolt.
The Atlas also brought news of the
failure of the extensive fruit importing
corporation, knowu as the Baltimore
Fruit company, which has maintained
a fleet of ocean steamers.

Chronicle's Flagstaff, Arizona, special
says: .. During the past month the iNa-
vaio Indians have been acting in a
defiant manner towards the whites and
it was the general belief that they were
awaiting a. favorable opportunity to

here from the Little Colorado, thirty
miles northeast, with intelligence that
a band of 00 Nayaios have taken pos
session or the stock on Wm. Kadden's

slaugterlng a large number of cattle.
The Indians are well armed and get
large reinforcements from the reserva

Health He Says He Is
Not a Sick Man.
Bar HARBOm, Maine, July 13. The
Associated Press correspondent . con
vereed with Secretary Blaine for a few
minutes this morning.
"I am as well as usual today. The
sensational reports about my health
sent to the papers all over the country
are lies. I am not a sick man. They
have magnified a s ight illness into
something very serious. I am taking
no medicine whatever' I go out every
day and often twice a day. I have
good appetite, eat whatever I desire
and retire at 10 or 11. In short, I live
in my usual manner. There is nothing
more to say."
Mr. Blaine spoke in his accustomed
quick, unhesitating manner, his voice
showing no trace of weakness He took
a long ride this morning in an open
carriage through the principal streets

gets in and out of the carriage without
assistance, sits erect, recognizes ac
quaintances aa in former years, and
does not seem fatigueo by riding.

We no longer consider him a sick
man."

of tbe appropriation by the Federal
government, of which 116,000, for the
year 1890, was received last Saturday

The proposition of Mr. R. H. Buttle.

Association, to erect a chapel at Oak-
wood, meets with a most cordial en
dorsement by our cit zens. It is ex

over $2,500 will be needed.
It is now understood that no crimi
nal action will be pressed against Mr.
Clarence Busbee, who is still at the
residence of his mother, in this city.
The amount involved in the alleged
embezzlement has been N very gyeatly
exaggerated, not exceeding a few hutf-
dred dollars. Your correspondent

Your correspondent was ii formed
this morning by a well-known capital
ist and real estate owner that he found
it impossible to let out contracts for
buildings to be finished within any rea
sonable time, as all the contractors iu
the city had orders far ahead. It may
be stated in this connection that there-
is more building going on in Raleigh
now than at any ti.Be since the war. An
entire village of small houses is in
process near the site ot the new Caro-
leigh cotton mills. These are intended
mainly for operatives. In other, sec
tions immediately surrounding the city
the busy hum of the trowel and hammer
is heard. Raleigh is evidently wafc
ing up.
It may not prove uninteresting to
Governor Holt's many friends to know,
that Weduesday of this week (15th) is
his birth dav. He will then arrive at
the 60-year-oid post. - He is still in the
vigor of comparative good health, not-.
withstanding his onerous duties.
The improvement in the couditlon of
Grand Sire Busbee during yesterday,
and today has been wonderful. He has
regained much of his mental powers,
and the paralytic features are decidedly
better. For the nrst time since his
sickness, he indulges in food of a solid
character.
Miss Helen Fowle, daughter of the
late Governor Danial G. Fowle, will be

day at North Andover Centre,where he
is spending the summer at the old
Phillips Manor.
When asked about his confirmation,
he said that there was nothing to say.
"If there was I would tell you," he
added, "but there isabsolutely noth
ing " . . . ..
About the consecration he could tell
nothing yet. It may take place in Trin
ty church, but the whole matter lies in
the discretion of Bishop Williams, of
'Connecticut, the presiding bishop.
"I will undoubtedly be consulted,"
said he, "but so far nothing has been
done or thought of, neither as to time,
place, or those who will take part. It
will not, however, take place for two
or three months."

Lebanon, Pa., July 13. -The ten
inch mill at the Pennsylvania Bolt and
Nut works started up this morning
with a full complement of workmen,
all of whom are non union men except
two. About twenty men are necessary
to run the ten inch department of the
mill. The company has all along re
fused to feign and they still say that
they will not do so under any circum
stances. They assert that their mill
will be able to supply sufficient iron for
their present needs and that when it
becomes -necessary to start the eight
inch and sixteen inch mills they can
find men to do so.! The local lodge of
steel workers to-day decided to call out

Sam Motz's family. Michael is rapidly
recovering and will be out in a few
days. Charles Motz is still dangerously
ill, the physicians not having found the

from the Methodist cnurch.
Michael occupies a good position in

PARIS. July 13. There was con

President Carnot had been shot. This

be untrue, but there was foundation
for the report. The pt evident was

he received an enthusiastic welcome.
Suddenly a man, wild-eyed and mak

through tha crowd and pushed past
the soldiers on duty about the spot
where the ceremonies were taking
place. This man rushed up to the
carriage in which the president had
driven up to the new avenue and fired
a pistol at M. Carnot. As he did so the
man shouted: "I'll prove that there
are more bastiles to be demolished."
President Carnot was undoubtedly
alarmed at what appeared to be a di
rect attempt upon hia life, but the
President was unhurt and regained
his entire possession of mind. . The
man who fired the shot was promptly
arrested by the police, and such was
the anger of the crowd present, that
the officers had the greatest difficulty
in protecting their prisoner from be"
coming the victim of the popular fury
which he had excited. As it was, it
required the services of a strong force
to escort the man in safety to the near
est police station.
Upon arrival there, the man's exam
ination soon disclosed the fact that he
was a mad man, and that he had been
released from confinement in a lunatic
asylum.
