5><*alli of W. C. O’Driscoll, E*q.
The notice in Saturday’s Morning News
of the serious illness of Mr. W. C. O’Dris
coll, oce of our oldest citizens, prepared
the community for the announcement of his
death, which occurred Saturday evening at
the residence corner Hull and Barnard streets,
about seven o’clock. It will tye remembered
that some weeks since Mr. O’Driscoll was
prostrated by a paralytic stroke while at
tending to some legal business in the office
of Captain Robert Falligant, and from this
prostration he never fully recovered.
Mr. O’Driscoll was bom in Charleston in
1808, and was consequently in the 70th year
of his age. During his early life we under
stand he entered the medical profession and
subsequently was admitted to the bar, but
did not practice in either any length of time.
In 1835 he removed to Savannah and entered
into commercial life as a cotton merchant
and conducted a very extensive business. He
was for several years a Director and Pre
sident of the Bank of Savannah, and was
also Belgian Consul at this port for a long
time.
It is a little singular that Friday, the day
preceding his death, was the anniversary of
the sad drowning, at Beach Hammock, of
his son, Mr. Frank C. O’Driscoll, and that
yesterday was the anniversary of that son’s
funeral.
Mr. O’Driscoll was the last surviving male
member .of his family. He was a citizen
whose integrity was well known, and who
had the confidence of all with whom he had
business relations. The funeral took place
yesterday afternoon at four o’clock from
Christ Church, and was very largely attend
ed, the services being conducted by Rev.
Mr. Boom;.

Dedication of tlie Hencdietine
Ground* at Skidaway.
A large party of excursionists—number
ing about six hundred—proceeded on the
steamer City of Bridgeton to the above
named grounds on yesterday, in order to
witness the interesting ceremonies an
nounced to take place. The trip down the
river was one of the most pleasant that could
be desired, nothing of importance occurring
to mar the pleasure of the occasion so happi
ly participated in by all. On arrival at the
island—there being no wharf to land at—a
flat boat was used in conveying the excur
sionists to the shore. Too much praise
annot be given to Captain Fleetwood, Mr.
Lawrence, and, in fact, to all connected
with the boat, for the pleasant manner in
which they performed this somewhat disa
greeable duty.
On arrival at the grounds the excursionists
found in the midst of a magnificent grove
an altar erected, and there “under the cano
py of heaven,” High Mass was celebrated
by Father Oswald, Father Cafferty as deacon,
Father Brown as assistanL deacon and Father
Eckert master of ceremonies. At the con
clusion, a very able and instructive sermon
was delivered* by Father Cafferty, who took
as his text, “Go teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. And
behold, I am with you all days, even unto
the consummation of the world.”
The religious ceremonies being over, little
groups were formed, some partaking of the
delicacies so bountifully displayed on tables
presided over by some kind ladies, whose
names we are almost tempted to mention,
whilst others roamed around the woods en
joying the cool and refreshing breeze, until
the whistle sounded calling the party back
to the Bridgeton, which shortly turned to-
\\ard*s the city, ^nd after a.Iellghtful trip of
two hours landed as well pleased a party
of excursionists at her dock as any this
well managed boat has carried this season.

comprises the best qualities of rosin and
spirits of turpentine. The bark went down

W. L. Darbee is not an officer, except as

at present no official standing or recogni

your readers. They are certificates of re

If they do not, I cannot help it.
The most convincing evidence which you
can have of the correctness of my represen
tations will soon be given you in the death
of the soe'ety which this man has manipu

its death will be a severer comment on him
than my pen can make.

THE RIFLE TOURNAMENT.
A Curiou* Statement— Misapprehen-
*ion Regarding the Rifle*—An Ex
planation.
The article in reference to the proposed
inter-State rifle 'natch in this city, on the
22d July, under the auspices of the Savan
nah Rifle Association, which appeared in
the Morning Ni:w3 of Monday last, seems
to have created considerable interest among
the riflemen of sister cities of this State and
of Charleston. We thought that the article
introductory of the circular of the Associ-
tion, containing the challenge was suffi
ciently explicit of the proposed arrange
ments as to leave no room for any misappre
hension on the subject, and still feel con
vinced that a careful perusal of it will sus
tain this belief. It appears, however, that
among some of the riflemen in other cities
there does exist a misconception not only of
the character of the proposed tournament,
but of the rules under which it is to be con
ducted. Before noting these erroneous im
pressions and rectifying them, we must re
fer to an article which appeared in the edi
torial columns of the Augusta Evening Xeics
of Friday, in reference to the contest, and in
which the reluctance of the Ger
man Fusiliers, of Charleston, to en
ter a team, is attributed to “the bad treat
ment they received from the Savannah boys”
on a former visit. The Augusta Xeirs says:
“The challenge of the Savannah Rifle As
sociation to*the riflemen of South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, for a grand
inter-State rifle match, is declined with
thanks by the Charleston Fusilier team. The
Fusiliers give as a reason for declining, the
bad treatment received by them at the
hands of the Savannah boys on a reotmt
visit. It would probably be a good idea for
the Savannah association to enter an ex
planation of the charges made by the
Charlestonians.
We are totally unable to understand this
serious reflection upon the courtesy and
hospitality of Savannah. The only visit of
the Fusiliers to this city was on the occasion
of the recent Schuetzenfeat, when they
were the guests of the German Volunteers,
and engaged in a rifle contest with that
company in which they came off victors.
The treatment they received from
the Volunteers certainly cannot be
termed “bad,” in the literal meaning
of that word, for we are sure no
guests were ever treated with greater con
sideration and hospitality. That the Fu
siliers felt and appreciated the courtesy and
liberality of their hosts is evidenced in their
action after their return home. We cannot
conceive that such a charge was made by any
of the Fusiliers, and presume the article of
our Augusta contemporary is based upon a
misunderstanding. We are sure if this state
ment is called to the attention of the officers
of the Fusiliers the charge will be promptly
repudiated.
\Ve can assure the Fusiliers, or any other
company of Charleston or elsewhere that
may enter in this or other contests in Sav
annah, that the proverbial hospitality and
courtesy of the Forest City will be their
portion.
THE WEAPON TO BE USED.
Concerning the weapon allowed by the
rules to be used in the contest there also
appears to be prevalent (notwithstanding
the circulor was definite on this point) an
erroneous idea. To render further misun
derstanding on this subject impossible,
however, we append the following official
explicit explanation:
Heaijq'ks Savannah Rifle Association, t
Savannah, Ga., June 17, 1878.
Xotice.—In the rifle contest proposed by
the Savannah Rifle Association, to take
place on their range on the 22d proximo,
the “special military rijtex” intended to be
excluded are thoseAauipped with peep and
•lobe sights and tngjfers capable of being
sprung and made “hair.”
Any bona fide military rifle, with open
.sights and six pound minimum pull of trigger,
will be admitted.
Sighting Shots.—One sighting shot per
man at each distance will be allowed.
R H. Anderson, President.

THE AUGUSTA RIFLEMEN.
A member of the Augusta Rifle Associa
tion says: “Our marksmen here are very
anxious to compete with the Savannah Rifle
Association in a contest for the champion-
hip, but from the rules prescribed by the
association it is impossible, as our boys
are armed with Remington and Ballard and
Springfield, forty-five and fifty calibre.”
This gentleman gives his views on the sub
ject iu the following communication:
Augusta, Ga., June 16.—Elitor Morning
News : The proposed “champion rifle tour
nament,” under the auspices of the Savan
nah Rifle Association, has engaged the atten
tion of our Augusta marksmen, and I beg
leave to place before you the views of many
of our boys who take a material interest in
rifle practice. The “challenge,” so far as
military organizations are concerned, is per
fectly just, as military contests should be
conducted under the laws governmgsuch by
our highest authority. To include rifle or
ganizations in military contests, and under
military restrictions, for the “champion
ship” of the State or of the Southern States,
is anything but fair, and I think I express
the convictions of riflemen all over the
| South when I say that such a procedure to
obtain the championship does not give a fair
showing to rifle organizations.
I understand the Savannah Rifle Associa
tion is not a military organization (nor
have they won the proud title of champions
under a military cognomen), and when con
testing for pure marksmanship, said con
test should be governed by rules that
would not conflict with their brother rifle
men of the South, or, if in order to allow
military to compete for the honor, they
should* select a board of directors who
would procure from the United States
Arsenal twenty rifles (that no marksmen
had used) and allow each man two sighting
shots at each range, This is the only just
manner of testing soldierly marksmanship,
and one that will insure unsullied honor to
the victors.
Our rifle organization here are armed with
Remingtons and Ballards, forty-five calabre
and fifty calabre Springfiefds and Re
mingtons. So you see the rules
as laid down by the Savannah Rifle Associ
ation prohibits our participation. Our mili
tary companies have made arrangements to
go to Charleston (some of them, at least.)
and I doubt if our city, under the circum
stances, wil) be represented in the coming
champion rifle match. }f, however, the Sa
vannah Rifle Association wishes to compete
for the championship of the South under
our rules—’any rifle, and allow each team to
have six men—I think Augusta will be on
the field; and I think, for a military contest,
my suggestion in this regard is timely and
just. Adair.
In reply to our correspondent, we may
state that the official explanation from
Gen. Anderson, given above, sets aside
the objections urged on the score of the
weapon to be used. It is therefore unne
cessary to say anything further on that
subject. “ Adair’s ” strictures that the
Savannah Riife Association is nqt a military
organization apd that such a contest as
proposed would not be fair, when the
championship is in question, clearly demon
strates the fact that he has an erroneous
coZ2?' tinn °* character of the tourna
ment proposed. No claim mat. It TCd!*!
be a military contest was made. On the
contrary, it wao distinctly asserted in the
introductory article, as in the association’s
circular, that the match would be open to
teams irrespective of organizations; it mat
tered not whether those entering
were members of a military com
pany, a rifle association, or were
not connected with either. The
challenge is certainly liberal in its scope,
as under its provisions twenty of the “crack
shots” in any city or county of the four
States named can be organized as a team
and entered—piid the, question as to whether
they belonged to the military or not would
not*be mooted.
Right here we would remind “Adair’’
that at the State Fair in Macon, in the fall
of 1875, a contest took place in which
both military companies and rifle or
ganizations participated—Augusta, Colum
bus, Macon, Savannah, Sandersville
and oiher cities being represented.
In that contest the Savannah Rifle Associa
tion were the victors by a handsome
score, the Floyd Rifles of Macon second,
we believe, and the Georgia Game
Association of Savannah third. No
question was then raised as to whether the
contest was a military contest, or for the
military championship. So in this proposed
tournament the contest As simply among
rifleman fpr 'thp championship* pf the
South, and it will be conducted strict
ly under the rule9 of the National
Amateur Rifle Association, than which
certainly none can be fairer or more liberal.
The object in having the teams number
twenty is obvious. A better test of the
superior marksmanship of any city or
county is obtained than if the teams were
limited to five or six, and the victory would
be the more glorious. Certainly our fair
sister Augusta has more than sic riflemen
upon whose keen eyes and steady arms she
can safely rest her reputation in such a con
test.
“Adair - ’ will remember that an Augusta
team of four from, we believe, the Rich
mond Rifle Club did have a contest with
four from the Savannah Rifle Association
last July, at the Hermitage, and in this con
test the latter were successful, if we recol-
rect aright, by one point at 200 yards, and
nineteen points at 300 yards. The shooting
then done by our Augusta friends showed
that they were good competitors, and we
are sure they could raise a team.from their
several organizations which would do them
great honor in the contest on the 22d of
July. The other portions of “Adair’s” com
munication, which we haye not referred to,
require no comment.
We have sought to correct his misconcep
tion of the character of the tournament,
which is palpably a rifle, not a military,
tournament, and explained that the Rem
ington, Springfield or Ballard gipi can be
used under the requirements stated.
We hope that he and other Augusta
friends will perceive that they can enter the
field with all advantages they can reasona
bly desire.
There will be a meeting of the riflemen of
Charleston to take definite action on the
challenge to-night and we expect to hear
favorable reports from them.
The Rifle Association of Atlanta, recently
organized, will also consider the proposition
early this week, and Augusta. noted|for her
chivalry and pluck, should not be unrepre
sented.
THE CRAFT LIBEL SLIT.
Continuation ol the Hearing—The
Story of Ellen Crait, the Wile, and
of the Son of the Plaintllf-A Col
ored Preacher Upon the Stand.
Boston Herald. 12th.
The hearing in the case of Craft vs. Schle-
singer et al. was continued before the board
of referees yesterday. Much of the testi
mony was of very "little public interest,
going into minute details in regard to the
improvements at Woodville, the cost and
character of them, how the fences and
houses were built, whether the houses had
glass windows or not, etc., and in regard to
the personal history and movements of the
witnesses. To persons uninitiated in the
mysteries of the law the examination, on
the whole, is very tedious, and a great deal
that is said seems to have but a very remote
bearing upon the question of libel. Ellen
Craft was on the stand during the entire
forenoon, and told her story in a plain,
straightforward maimer, the strength of
which the cross-examination did not appear
to weaken. It certainly seemed from her
testimony that she as a ministering angel
to the afflicted people of her race at Wood
ville and in its vicinity. In the afternoon
the Rev. Josiah Clark, a colored preacher
from Georgia, was called. Some amuse
ment was created by a few peculiar expres
sions which he used, but he was for all that
an intelligent and clear witness. The other
witnesses were Brougham Craft, son of the
plaintiff, a bright young man of twenty-one,
and Mr. Samuel E. Sew all.
Ellen Craft, wife of the plaintiff, was put
upon the stand at the opening of the court.
She testified briefly to her early history, her
escape from slavery and her* life abroad.
She then gave her story, in answer to in
terrogations by Mr. Rogers, concerning her
work at Woodville. She went there some
time in 1871. The place was then in a
wretched condition, the houses miserable
holes, dirty and full of rats and snakes, the
plantation unfenced and all run over with
weeds. In 1872 she opened a night school
in the dining room of her house, which
3'oung and old were invited to attend.
Gradually tenants began to take up the
land, and the appearance of things to im
prove. She told how she busied herself in
taking care of the sick, distributing medi
cine to them and food to the poor, an l
teaching the women to be tidy and neat,
aud to cut and make garments, so that they
might become good wives and mothers. In
1874 a school house was built, and the
school was the only one in Bryan county at
that time. The pupils ranged in age from
seven to twenty years. The3’ were taught
reading, writing and spelling, geography
and arithmetic, and religious services
were held two or three times a week. The
pupils were not chaiged for their schooling,
and when they could not afford to buy
books, books were given them. In 1875
there were fifteen or sixteen families on the
plantation, and thirty children who attended
the school. Scholars also came from the
neighboring plantations. Since she had
been in Woodville the whole appearance of
things had been changed. Ten new build
ings had been built, and all the old ones re
paired. The moral character of the people
had been great improved, and in 1876 they
were doing remarkably well. There had
been no arrests for stealing or fighting. She
had succeeded in breaking up the habit of
whipping the children by substituting the
plan that when the parents wanted to whip
them they should take them out in the
graveyard, and there they would often kneel
down and pray. The farm was well stocked
with cattle, of which the tenants had the
use iu breaking up their land, etc. As an
illustration of how the tenants had got
along, she mentioned the case of Joe Mal
lard, who came to the plantation penniless,
but who now owned a pair of horses,
twenty hogs, and had paid off some
debts. She detailed instances in
which she had assisted the
poor and sick. In one case she fed an old
woman from her own table for a long time,
and when she died bought boards to make
her coffin and subsequently took care ol her
children. From her evidence it appeared
that she was a ministering angel among the
afflicted. The witness testified that when
she came from England she had between
two aud three thousand dollars, $500 of
which had been given her by Lady Byron,
who was god-mother to her first child. No
one had had access to the money except her
self, and she had some of it left.
After the noon recess Brougham Craft,son
of the plantiff, was put upon the stand. He
twenty-one years old, and received his
education in London. He went to Wood
ville in 1873, aud late in that year began to
teach in the school on the plantation with
about thirty-six pupils. In regard to his
qualifications to taach, he said he had as-
isted in the schools In which he had been
educated, and that be had certificates from
school committees in Georgia and Florida,
where he had taught. The attendance at
the school increased gradually, and in 1875
he had seventy-five pupils, thirty of whom
were children who lived on the plantation
and forty from the neighborhood. The
school building would accommodate four or
five hundred scholars. Nq tuition was paid.
On cross-examination ho said that pay was
promised him by some of the scholars, but
he never got anything from them, except
four red birds. [Laughter.] The sessions of
the school were from ten in the morning till
three in the afternoon. He also Conducted
an evening school about two months in the
year. He was paid by his father.
Rev. Clark, of Georgiy bor-n ami reared a
slave, a splendid representative of the gen
uine Southern negro, whose answer to the
question, “ You are known as the Rev. Jo
siah Clark ?” was “Jbe,” was the next
witness. At the outset he was questioned
in regard to how he learned to read and
write, Mr. Rogers, in reply to the objection
of the other side that the matter M as not
material, claiming that it all bore on the
question of education in Georgia. The wit
ness told how he was taught by the children
of his master. Being familiar with the
whole of Bryan county and acquainted with
the Craft family, he was questioned in re
gard to what had been done at Woodville.
He said the place had been greatly im
proved, and m 1876 the * community was
very prosperous. The school Mas well at
tended and the instruction good. He had
given out notices in the places where he
preached that a free school had been opened
there, and that all M ho wished to go could
go free of cost. The witness Mas examined
at length in regard to the usual rate of con
tract betM r een owners of plantations and
tenants, and showed that the contracts at
Woodville M ere more favorable for the peo
ple than at other places. The cross-exami
nation Mas uninteresting.
Mr. Samuel E Sewall M as next called. He
testified that his acquaintance with Craft
began after his return from Europe, and his
first connection M ith his plaqs was to act as
trustee of a, fund of $,200, which was
raised for the ourpose of purchasing a
plantation in Georgia, the bargain for
which, however, fell through, and the
money was distributed back to the donors.
He became connected M ith him again when
$3,000 was raised for the purchase of Wood-
?!!!" Of this amount, $2,000 M as given to
Craft outright and $1,000 loaned on a mort
gage made tq blnp the \yithesa, as trustee.
Tlie M’itqess testified in regard fo Craft’s
plan, as it was understood by him and other
subscribers and donors, and that they had
implicit confidence in him. IJe testified,
also, in regard to publishing a card in
dorsing Craft, after the alleged libel M'as
published, and to an internew with a
messenger who came from Mr. Schlesinger.
On cross-examination he said he never
asked Craft for an account previous tq the
publication of the libej, qui since then’had
suggested it, and Craft had furnished a
memorandum.
At 6:15 the court adjourned to ten o’clock
to-day.
