FROM WEST TO SOUTH.
Details of the Presidential Trip
Southward.
Mr. Cleveland and His Wife
dially Keceived.
Cor-
At West Memphis, which was reached
Friday afternoon, the visitors were received
by a Committee of 200 leading citizens, and
taken by steamer to Memphis. About 60,
000 people had gathered on the levee when
the Presidential party left the boat,thousands
of strangers having traveled to the city from
Mississippi and adjoining States. The party
were taken in carriages to the Gayozo House.
In the morning there was a reception at the
hotel, and later the guests were driven out
to see a fine display of fireworks. Saturday
morning there was a grand parade, an ad
dress delivered by Judge Ellet in the Court
Square, a reply by the President, and after
ward a public reception at the Merchants'
Exchange. Early Saturday afternoon the
special train was again taken, and Nashville,
Tenn., was reached early Sunday morning.
A sad incident of President Cleveland's
visit to Memphis was the sudden death
of Judge H. T. Ellet, of the 'Chancery
Court, a few minutes after he had delivered
the address of welcome to Mr. Cleveland
from the crowded stand in Court Square.
The President was responding to Judge Ellet,
when that gentlemen was suddenly taken sick
and sank to his seat. Although attended by
Dr. Bryant, the President's physician, and
local doctors, Judge Ellet succumbed to par
alysis ot the heart, l he exercises were closed
on the stand by the announcement that there
would be a reception later at the Merchants'
and Cotton Exchanges, and the crowd hurried
away. . Both the President and Mrs. Cleve
land were much affected by the sad event.
At Nashville the President and Mrs. Cleve
land were the guests of General W. H. Jack
son on that gentleman's magnificent stock
farm, Belle Meade, six miles from the city.
There Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland spent a quiet
Sunday their first in, the South. During
the day they were driven to Nashville and
called on Mrs. James K. Polk, widow of
President Polk, and lady of the White House
forty years ago.
On Monday morning the Presidential party
were driven through Nashville to Vanderbilt
University. The streets were crowded with
people, and decorations and mottoes were
plentiful. At the University Chancellor Gar
land made an address of welcome. Then the
march through the city's principal
streets to the Maxwell House was re
sutned. At the hotel Mrs. Cleveland
alighted and held a reception for the ladies
of Nashville. The President continued to the
Capitol, and from a-stand was welcomed by
Governor Taylor. . President Cleveland re
sponded in a speech complimentary to Nash
ville and its people. After the address the
President held a public reception in the ro
tunda of the CapitoL Shortly after noon
the visitors left for Chattanooga.
The city of Chattanooga was reached in
the afternoon in a heavy rain. The train was
greeted at the depot by an immense crowd.
The President's carriage was followed by a
mounted escort and 100 carriages, containing
leading citizens. Many private houses were
decorated, j The party stopped about an hour
at Chattanooga, and then departed for At
lanta, Ga.
The train reached Atlanta at 5 P. M. The
party were received with belching cannon,
the illumination of Kennesaw mountain, and
the roar of thousands of voices in greeting.
A reception committee, which inclnded Gov
ernor Gordon, Senator Brown, Henry W.
Grady and others conducted the party to
the Kimball House. Five Governors of
Southern States welcomed the party.
On Tuesday morning the Presidential party
were escorted to the Governor's room in the
Capitol at Atlanta. There they were received
by Governoj Gordon. The visiting Govern
ors, the Supreme Court of the State, the
United States officials, the municipal authori
ties, and t he members of the Legislature were
presented to the city's guests. This ceremonial
over, the visitors, escorted by Governor Gor
don, Senators Brown and Colquitt, and ac
companied by the visiting Governors, and
many other people of note.proeeeded to Pied
mont Park, which is the exposition ground.
A national salute was fired as the proces
sion entered the gates of the inclos
ure and . proceeded to . the speaker's
stand. The formalities of welcome to the
President were beguu with a prayer by the
Rev. Dr. Bartlett, of the Presbyterian
Church, after which Mr. H. W. Grady,
Vice-President of the exposition, in a brief
but eloquent speech extended a welcome to the
President. Mr. Cleveland respondedin a speech
in which he referred in complimentary terms
to the growth and enterprise of Atlanta.
Governor Gordon followed the President in a
short address. Then there was a public re
ception in the exposition grounds. In the
evening the gentlemen of the visiting party
dined with Governor Gordon. Mrs. Cleve
land and Mrs. Vilas were entertained at din
ner by Mrs. R. N. Porter. Later the entire
party attended a card reception ty the Cap
ital City Club.
The exercises at Atlanta on Wednesday in
President and Mrs. Cleveland's honor were
marred by a heavy rain. The Presidential
party breakfasted with Senator Colquitt at
10 a. m. There were about thirty other guests,
including most of the people of note
in town. The President ' and Mrs.
Cleveland entered their flower-bedecked
carriages at 11 - o'clock, and, with an
escort of cavalry and artillery, made their
way through muddy streets to the Exposi
tion grounds, three miles away. There Mr.
and Mrs, Cleveland viewed the military pa
rade. In the afternoon the , President
was entertained by Hon. Julius Brown,
son of Senator Brown. At the
same hour a reception in Mrs. Cleveland's
honor was given by Mrs. Henry W. Grady.
At night the President reviewed a torch
: light procession of the Young Men's Demo
: cratic Leagues of the State, and made a
speech. The party left at midnight for
Montgomery, Ala.
The special train containing the Presiden
tial jiarty reached Montgomery, Ala., at 8
o'clock Thursday morning. The .visitors
were greeted with booming cannon and the
cheers of a great crowd. The military
presented arms as the President and Mrs.
Cleveland entered their carriage. After
breakfast at the Exchange Hotel, the Pres
ident reviewed the military parade, and
there- was a presentation . to Mrs.
Cleveland of a handsome solid sil
ver jewel casket, representing a cotton
bale, and bearing an appropriate inscription
indicative of the visit to Montgomery., A
satin copy of the day's edition of the Mont
gomery Dispatch, consisting of thirty-three
pages, elaborately and expensively trimmed
and enclosed within a handsome crimson
plush roll, bearing on a silver plate an ap
" propriate inscription, was also presented to
the President and Mrs. Cleveland by
Editor Fitzgerald. After a drive through
the principal streets, the party
were taken to the Fair grounds,
where, " in presence of an immense crowd,
Governor Sleay delivered an address of wel
, CGe. Mr. . Cleveland responded, speaking
words of praise for Alabama, its people and
its industrial growth. After a drive around
the Fair grounds the party again took the
special train and started on their jo
journey for

THE PROHIBITIONISTS.
Their Cause at Stake Before the
Highest Court of the Land.
It is stated that there is a great deal of ex
citement among temperance people through
out the country owing to an apprehension
that the Supreme Court of the United States
will declare the prohibitory liquor laws
unconstitutional Seven cases are pending
before the court. Two of them come
from Kansas, four from Iowa, and one
from Atlanta, Ga. The Kansas cases
have already been argued in behalf
"of the I brewers by Senator Vest, of
Missouri, and Joseph H. Choate.of New York.
No one appeared for the Prohibitionists, to
their great astonishment, and the blame is
. charged against Attorney-General Bedford,
of Kansas, who had charge of the case, but
'failed for some reason to appear.
As is well known, says a Washington
special, hundreds of millions of dollars are
invested in the manufacture and sale of
liquor in States where prohibitory laws have
been enacted and enforced, and if such a de
cision as is expected is given, the States will
be compelled to pay immense sums in
the shape of damages to those
whose investments have been idle. The cases

TUMBLING IN EUINS.
Seven Men Killed Br a Ruildinir's
Fall In New York.
By the fall of an unfinished building in East
115th street, 2sew "iork, a few days since,
seven workmen were killed and about I
eleven others were injured, several of them
seriously. The accident was the result of
haste and bad management. Details of the
accident are as follows:
By order of the Rev. Father Kerner. of
the Church of our Lady of Mount Carrael.
workmen began to build a parochial school
at No. East 115th street about
two months atra The buildinsr was
to be five stories hich. with a front
age of twenty-five feet and a depth of
nearly 100 feet. Efforts were mails to push
the work rapidly and cheaply. About twen
ty men were at work in the unfinished struc
ture at 3:30 p. m. the other day. The side
walls were up as far as the fourth storr
and the rear wall was nearly as
high, while the front had not been
raised above the foundation. A steam en
gine was at work in front of the building
driving a hod elevator. The floor beams had
not been supported properly in the middle.
ana tney shook every time the elevator went
up with its load of bricks and mortar.
finally tuo unsupported side walls could
not longer bear the strain, and they fell with
out warninz while all the workmen were
busy. There was a crash that startled every
body in the neighborhood. Bricks from the
top of the west wall crushed the roof of the
frame blacksmith shop at No. 437, and killed
Henry Reinitz, a horseshoer, who was at
work there. For a few seconds after
the crash the ruins were partly olscured by a
cloud of pulverized mortar. Through the
cloud a lew men were seen struggling t
escape from the wreck. Loud cries from the
helpless wounded men were heard.
A great crowd of excited people soon filled
the street, and for a time the work of rescue
was impeded by 'the throng. A policeman
ran to the signal box at First avenue and
1 15th street, a ml sent out an alarm of tire. Call
for ambulances were sent from the same box
a little later. Hearing the alarm. Captain
Hooker, of the East lS'-th street squad, went
with his reserve force of policemen to scatter
the crowd and help the firemen in the
work of rescue. Five companies of firemen,
who had responded to the alarm, went to
work promptly. At first the workmen wh
were in sight were carried cut of the ruins.

Land Commissioner Sparks In his annual
report, just issued, shows that since March 4,
1SS3, 31,S-M,S1 acres hare been restored to
the public domain. The tales, entries, and
"elections of public land under the various
acts of Congress relating thereto, for the fis
cal year ended June 30, 1SS7, embrace 25,111,
400 acres, and of Indian lands 744.GT? acres,
making a total of 25,853,033 acres, being an
increase over the Tear ISSrt of 3,733,471 acre,
and an increase of 4,Mti2,V!4 acres as .compared
with 13S5.
The receipts from the disposals of public
lands are 110,783,11, from sales of Indian
lands, $1,44,303 a total of tli.-.tiViM.beinjr

General recommend that rates for survey be
increased, so that competent surveyors may
be able to perform their work without call

j On the subject of the forfeiture of railroad
. land grants the CoiiunWoner quotes from hU
I! latt annual report, and odds:
"I renew the recommendation that for
feiture be declared in all cases in which the
roads were not completed within the timo
and in the manner conditioned in the respec
tive grants. '
Of fraudulent land entries the Commissioner
says that the investigations of the past year
have been entirely satisfactory, ami that
as a result, 2,313 entries, covering about
370,000 acres, were held for cancella
tion, and 1,153 entries, covering about
1),000 acres, were cancelled for fraud.
This subject the Commissioner pur
sues at some length. He says: "Such
a record of crime as that shown by
investigation made by special agents during
the last two years is rarely to be found.
Bold, reckless, and gigantic schemes to rob
the Government of iu lands have been dis
covered and exposed in every State and
Territory containing public land ,and I think
I can truthfully say in every land distri-t and
county which a 8cial acent has viMted.
Systematic efforts to mislead and corrupt
bewme instrument in dfrau.lingthe Oovern-
ment, have been resorted to. Men of intelli-
gence and high standing in the com
munity, in many instances million
aires, were the leaders in these unlaw f ul trans
actions. Over five thousand ca.e have
been discovered wherein perjury or mibordin
ation of perjury wan "inuuttd. In a ma
jority of cases the otlivrs before whom the
proofs or other papers were executed, largely
State and Territorial ofilcers not directly re
sponsible to the Land I apartment, were
cognizant of the fraud, or could have become
so by ordinary diligence.
One thousand and eleven ca-s of tlmN-r
depredations or timber trespass hive been
reported on during the year, involving a
valuo in timber and product therefrom
amounting to ftf.l , "--ricoverable to the
United Stat-s. The amouut actually re
covered during the year through judgment,
fines, etc., is Ili.Mi. The wholesale
destruction of public timber on oM nuraVred
sections of public lands, savs th Commis
sioner, withm the granted limit of unon-truct.-d
railroad continues to an alarming
extent.
On the subject of "reform in the public
land laws' the Commissioner siys:
"All effort to svure a reform in the land
laws by a rejal or amend nent of particular
arts and provisions have faib-1 through the
opositun of ink-rent at variance wiiu pr.

A. nriral of an almost forgotten,
fashion is said to be impending-in the
French capital. The Parisian eiouuite
is about to appear on his beloved boule
vards in the Lead gear affected bj John
Bull in the early jean of the present
century. If the forthcoming bat is not
actually made of 'bearer," it will be
simply on account of the Increasing
scarcity of the animal, which Is gradually
disappearing before the encroachments
of Western civilization. But the bearer
is not gone' yet; and with onW that
amount of encouragement which is
afforded by the absence of constant
molestation, he woul J soon again largely
contribute to the world's store of valu
able furs. The mighty hunters who are
now beginning to penetrate the few re
maining sanctuaries of animal life would
do well to remember in time the fsbteof
the cooe snd the rolden ezr. Unless
some breathing space is now permitted
to it in its principal settlement, the ex
tinction of the bearer is within a very
easily meaurab!e dUiance. In America
the prices of bearer skins hste risen from
i to $ each during tho List six years.
A consignment of fur, not long since,
shipped from Winnipeg by the Hudson's
Hay Company, represented the destruc
tion of over 5,000 beaTers, which ex
ceeded that of all other fur-yielding
animals of the district, with the one ex
ception of the marten. It would be an
infinite pity if this most interesting
creature were to be wiped out of the
book of nature.
