Atlanta, Oct. 16. Temporary excite
ment was created on the exposition
grounds yesterday afternoon by a fire on
tne Micnvay. rne explosion oi a gaso
line stove in the Old Plantation at the
eastern extremity of the Midway set the
frame structure on fire, and there was a
panic among the freaks on the Midway.
The fire was soon under control, but the
Old Plantation exhibit was destroyed. The
phantoscope, next door, suffered $50 dam
age and Hagenbach's wild beast arena
suffered to the extent of $600.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 16. Smith. &
Meyer's laundry works on Twenty-seventh
street burned late yesterday afternoon, the
fire originating in the explosion of a gaso
line generator. Four women and a man
working on the third floor found their es
cape cut off, and jumped from the win
dows. Mrs. Lou Miller had both legs
broken, and will die. Frenie Miller, her
daughter, had an arm broken and hip dis
located; Claudia Clark, leg broken. An
unknown girl was probably fatally burned
abou the face and shoulders. .. '
Memphis, Oct. 17.-Jeff Ellis, the negro
who committed an assault on Miss Prater
near Braden, and who 'confessed to other
assaults and murders, was lynched near
the scene of his crime at midnight by a
mob of citizens. His ears and fingers were
cut off and he was ; otherwise mutilated,
and then hanged to a telegraphs pole and
riddled with bullets. Afterward the
body was lowered and the head cut off.
Then the rope was fastened to the feet, and
In that position the mutilated body was
again strung up.
Hampton, S. C, Oct. 18. William
Blak Sr., Jason Blake, Prince Graves
and William Frazter were convicted last
evening of the murder of Mr. Raymond
Meares, on the 9th of August last. Will
iam Blake, Sr., was recommended to the
mercy of the court, and his sentence was
life Imprisonment. The other three were
sentenced to be hanged on Dec. 6 next.
After the prisoners were sentenced it
was evident that there was dissatisfaction
at the jury's recommendation to mercy of
William Blake, Sr., and some persons
were heard to say that Blake would never
reach the penitentiary. The convicted
men, as soon as court adjourned, about
7:30 o'clock, were handcuffed and taken
out of the court room. On their way to
the jail, within a few feet of the prison,
the sheriff and his constables were over
powered by a number of men, and
the elder Blake and William Frazier, who
were handcuffed together, were forced
from the custody of the constables and
taken oil into the woods. The handcuffs
were unlocked in some way, and Frazier
w;is returned to the custody of the jailor.
The crowd, numbering about fifty men,
proceeded to a dense piece of woods about
half a mile from the court house and
hanged the eider Blake with a plow line
to the limb of a large pine tree. Several

An Indirect Cbaree That President Gar

A Corrupt Bargain at the Convention
of 18SS. j
Chicago, Oct. 19. The intrigues, the '
jealousies and the traitorous knife thrusts
of the last half century of American state
craft are revealed in the fierce light of ,
stern criticism in "John Sherman's Recol- ;
lections of Forty Years in the House, !
Senate and Cabinet," just published in ;
this city. The fear that the venerable !
senator would reveal secrets long kept
from the public in his forthcoming work
has been to an extent realized. Grant,
Garfield, Blaine, Arthur, Harrison and !
other Republican leaders are spoken of
with unstinted praise for their high per
sonal worth or statesmanship, but each is
In guarded and covert language shown in i
the less commendable light of scheming ,
politicians. The criticism is abnost in- j
variably implied rather than direct, but it
stands out clearly in the work as a whole.
Owing to the close association of Mr.
Sherman and James A. Garfield the criti
cism of the n Dinination of the latter for
president of the United States is perhaps
one of the most striking features of the
book. The author, while carefully avoid
ing a direct charge of treachery on the
part of the ex-president, very significantly
makes it plain that Mr. Garflold was nomi
nated at a convention to which he had
gone as the trusted leader of the Sherman
forces. Mr. Sherman gives in detail the
history of the national convention of 1880.'
Following the account of his own struggle
for the nomination, he says:
"In time I became thoroughly advised
of what occurred at the Chicago conven
tion and had become entirely reconciled
to the result, though frequently afterwards
I heard incidents and details which occa
sioned me great pain and which seemed
to establish the want of sincerity on the
part of some of the delegates, and tended
to show that for some time before the
meeting of the convention the nomination
of General Garfield had been agreed upon,"
The sting felt by Garfield's defection in
1890 is inadvertently shown by a senti
ment .expressed during -the discussion of
the national convention of 1893, where the
senator remarks;
"From later developments I became sat
isfied that Harrison could not be elected,
that Piatt and a powerful New York in
fluence would defeat him if nominated. I
therefore preferred the nomination of a
new man. like William McKinley, but he
had committed himself to Harrison, and,
according to my code of honor, could not
accept a nomination even if tendered him."
When it was remembered that Blaine
was also a candidate for the presidency be
fore the convention that nominated Gar
field, the significance of the following ex
planation on the part of Senator Sherman
of why he wa3 not reappointed by Presi
dent Garfield as secretary of the treasury
is readily understood:
"In the latter part of November, 1880,
General Garfield came to Washington and
called upon Mr. Blaine, who, it was understood-,
was to be secretary of state. Gar
field came to my house directly from
Blaine's and informed me that he had ten
dered that office to Blaine and that it was
accepted. He said that Blaine thought it
would not be politic to continue me as sec
retary of the treasury, as it would be re
garded as an unfriendly discrimination by
other members of Hayes' cabinet. I
promptly replied that I agreed with the
opinion of Blaine, and was a candidate for
the senate."
Something of the political scheming that
again resulted in the defeat of the Ohio
statesman in the national convention of
1888, and brought about the nomination of
ex-President Harrison, can be easily be
read between the lines in that part of the
work devoted to this struggle. In discuss
ing the result, Mr. Sherman says that he
became satisfied that one delegate from
New York controlled the entire delegation
from that state, and between Saturday
night, when the nomination seemed cer
tain tp go to Sherman, and Monday morn
ing, when the tide turned in favor of Har
rison, a corrupt bargain was made in the
interests of the latter, which secured him
the support of New York and' gave him
the nomination. Continuing, the author
states: "It is to the credit of General Har
rison to say that if the reputed bargain
was made, it was without his consent at
the time.'
On the eve of another national cam
paign, in which ex-President Harrison is
expected to figure prominently, Mr. Sher
man does not hesitate to state that in 1893
he did not consider Harrison a strong can
didate. To his cold and abrupt manner
he attributes his unpopularity at that time.
Space is devoted by the author to an
account of the1 important events of- each
administration. In this connection Mr.
Sherman lays bare many of the jealousies,
political bickerings, and clash of ambitions
that disturb the harmony of the party in
power. Of Grant's administration he
says it was a period of scandal and slander,
and declares that the president rarely ex
pressed any opinion or took any interest
in public affairs.

London Newspapers Prove to Their Own
Satisfaction That the Existing Com plica
tions Can in No Way Be Affected by the
Monroe Doctrine of the United Stntea.
London, Oct. 21. The St. James Ga
zette follows up its disclosures regarding
the policy of the Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, regarding Venezuela, and the
apparent determination of the British
government to uphold its claims by force
of arms, by making the following impor
tant statement:
"We are in a position to state that' the
Marquis of Salisbury has sent an ulti
matum to President Crespo, which not
only sets out the demands of the British
government for reparation- on account of
this arrest of the deputation and inspec
tors of police at TJruan, but it also states
the terms upon which Great Britain will
definitely determine the boundary dispute
with that republic. The ultimatum is now
en route to President Crespo, if it is not
already delivered to him."
The Times and The Chronicle this morn
ing print articles explaining in detail the
position of the Venezuelan matter, the
latter paper especially as regards the
American point of view as indicated by
official reports issued from Washington.
"There is no doubt," The Chronicle says,
"that the United States is determined to
bring about an early settlement of the dis
pute. No answer to Mr. Bayard's dispatch
tn Iord Salisbury has yet been received at
the embassy."
'i'J4d ocandard says: "The Venezuelan
ultimatum is unlikely , to lead to pro
longed or doubtful complications The
convention of 1850 has been repeatedly in
fringed by the Venezuelans in encroach
ing upon soil indisputably British. These
galling and high-handed acts might have
been overlooked had not the 'outrage by
the Venezuelan authorities reached
lengths no longer endurable. We shall
be surprised if the ' responsible diplomats
of the United States persist in maintain
ing' that the Monroe doctrine has -any
bearing on the present case."
The Daily Telegraph says: "It is diffi
cult to see how Monroeism is applicable ,
to the Venezuelan affair. If the Venezur
elans invade British Guiana they must,
either be punished by us directly or they
must be forced by the assumed protectors
in the United States to respect interna
tional laws."
Insane In His Home.
Chicago, Oct. 21. Armed with a Win
chester rifle and a revolver a madman de
fied the police for hours yesterday at No.
35 Woodland Park, in one of the most
aristocratic residence districts of the city.
Barricaded and locked in a second story
room, commanding a complete view of the
park, the lunatic splintered doors, shat
tered window panes and tore holes in the
plaster of the room with bullets from his
rifle, while he shouted defiance to the
police and others attracted to the scene.
The insane man was G. S. Merwin, of the
firm of Rogers, Brown & Co., pig iron deal
ers. After several hours' effort the police,
by strategy, surprised and overcame the
madman. Although he had fired 140 shots
from his rifle and revolver Merwin injured
no one, but a number of people had nar
row escapes.
