o the extension of the Macon and tsrunswick
extension at that end of the line, says: “In
company with Mr. Calnan, one of the contract
ors for the Macon and Brunswick extension at
ihis end of the line, we visited this week the
scene or his labors, his contract for grading
being now finished. The work is of no mean
proportions, as much of it had to be built out
in the marsh, a half mile away from dry land
The extension leaves the main track at the first
crossing with the Brunswick and Albany Rail
road. about three miles from the city, and
gradusdy curves to the right until it reaches
the ma-sh. and then straight across the same
toTurtle river. From the crossing to the river
is about one and three quarter miles. A single
track h built across the march to within a
Tew hundred yards of the river, where
ked begins to widen, reaching a width
of .)27 feet, upon which are laid seven separate
tracks leading on to the wharf, which is 800
feet long, with thirteen slips for loading ves
sels at low water. We learn that a large ware
house will soon be built-feetween the two outer
tracks, running parallel to each, and
near by a guano warehouse. The water is very
deep at this point, the channel approaching
very near the bank. The wharf proper is about
done, but the cribbing and platforms leadmg
to it are not yet complete. This stupendous
work the labor of months, suggests very
strongly that in the near future somebody
aims to do some business over It. Certainly
such works would not be built simply to give
Messrs Minehau & Calnan a job and keep
Engineer Palmer out of mischief.”

A horrible deed of murder and arson was
accomplished in Volusia county on the even
ing of Tuesday last. About 9o’clock that even
ing the house of Mr. Neff, situated four miles
west of De Lani, was discovered on fire, and
before assistance could arrive was reduced to
ashes. The occupants, Mr. and Mrs. Neff, an
aged couple, were subsequently found among
the embers. This aged couple were from the
North, and had settled in the county two or
three years ago on account of the genial cli
mate. An examination of the bodies revealed
the fact that they had been murdered and
robbed and the building fired to blot out the
traresof the crime. A bullet hole was found
in Mr. Neff's right shoulder, while his wife’s
body was found to be terribly mutilated; in
fact. It was cut almost to pieces. Warrants
had been issued for four or five suspected par
ties.

Work on the Green Cove Spring and Melrose
Railroad is progressing satisfacto ily. Nearly
ten miles have now been graded and will so m
be ready for the iron. The final location has
been completed to Melrose. So far eighteen
miles of the right of way has been cut. In the
first section of six miles, no less than six tres
tles have been put up; in the second section
but two will be required, but of greater length
than in any other section, tbe one at Tyreil's
creek, says’ the Green Cove Spring, being
nearly nine hundred feet in length, and the one
at Green’s creek nearly five hundred feet,
after the first ten miles are finished the work
will progress more rapidly, as there is very
little pile work or trestling to do. The road
will be finished to Melrose by December.
Boston Commercial Bulletin: “The cultiva
tion of pineapples is extending rapidly iu
Florida, and a largely increased product is
looked for this season. As yet they have been
grown only in South Florida, but Middle
Florida is equally well adap ed for this pur
pose, and considerable planting is now being
done in that section as well as in the siuthern
part. The pineapple mostly grown in Florida
is the strawberry or red variety, and it <s a
curious fact that many of the pineapples
which have been received in this market were
grown from shoots originally sect from this
city. Very few, if any. of the sugar loaf or
green pineapples are grown in Florida, but
the gentlemen who sent the other shoots
there intend to send some shoots of this
varietv also. The shoots which he in
tends’ to use will be taken from the
Cat Island pineapples, a superior
kind of the sugar loaf variety, but one which
is rarely seen in this city. The average life of
the strawberry pine is about three years, and
that of the sugar loaf about five. The plants
are set out about two feet apart, and it is then
only necessary to keep the weedsdown. The
fru t will mature in eight or nine months, and
then the main stalk dies, leaving a number of
young shoots, which in turn spring up and
bear fruit. The plant grows to about thirty
inches in height, and each plant bears one
apple. An acre of good land will easily bear
six thousand plants of the sugar loaf variety
and about five thousand of the strawberry,
ant wi'h cultivation this number may be in
crease }. The strawberry pine ripens about a
month earlier than the sugar loaf. The first
cuttings on the strawberry pine are made
in April, aud the crops fast until
July. The sugar loaf is cut during
July and August. The plants furnish one regu
lar crop in a year. There are very large tracts
of good land suitable for th - cultivation of the
pineapple yet available in Middle and South
ern Florida at cheap prices. The best and
dearest land is of course that in proximity to a
harbor or a railroad. Last year was the first
in which these pineapples came upon the mar
ket in any considerable quantity. Th s year
the amount received was about three times as
large as la-1 year. About 30,000 rloridaswere
received here the present sea-on, and
a~.out 50,000 dozen of them were
received in New York. It is esti
mated that Boston will receive next yea-i
double tbe number received this season The
truit is brought mainly in sailing vessels to
New York though a con-iderable number
entries direct to Boston by steamer from Sa
vannah w which they are brought by rail
from Florida. These pineapples find a ready
s,leat higher prices than the foreign varie
ties, the; are of superior quality. The for
ign varieties come from the Bahamas and the
West Indies, and the Porto Ricos are probably
th?bt The Florida*, however, surpass
them 21. as they are what might be termed
closer grained and much sweet-r; in fact, but
lftUe is required for them The
Florid as come to market more nearly ripe
and in a better condition than the oth
enC as they are allowed to remain on
the stock until more nearly ripe. As
Jhey can be brought to market quicker, but
very few are lost, while large quantities of the
foreign rot on the voyage. It is chumed also
that the Floridas are tougher than the others,
and will therefore keep better when on the
market. Tne size of these pineapples varies
from 3 to 10 pounds, and they sold during the
last season at from 20 to 50 cents each, white
the foreign varieties sold from 8 to aO ceute
At present there is a good home demand for
them, and they sell in Fionua at from 15 to 35
cents but as tneir cultivation extends we will
get them much cheaper. There lsjno doubt
also that the quality will ne improved by care
ful cultivation as the growers become better
a uua nted with the business. It is then only
a nueStion of a few years when Flor da will
supply the Noithern markets with a better and
cheaper pineapple than can at present be ob
tained.” .

Washington, August 6.—ln presenting
to the Senate last night the conference re
port on the sundry civil bill Mr. Allison
commented upon the attitude of the House
through its conference ln relation to the
National Board of Health, which, he stld,
seems to be one of hostility to the board.
The Senate conferees bad been obliged
to recede from tbe Senate amendments
on this subject, though *50,000 had been ln
serted in lieu of *25,000 for local boards of
health. The provision for maintaining
under the board of quarantine stations had
been lo6t, the House conferees declaring
that these were necessary only in
times of pestilence, and that suffi
cient provisions had been made for
such contingency ln the provision allowing
the President *IOO,OOO to prevent or sup
press contagion. The other items of the
bill of Southern interest, as agreed to ln
conference, and adopted by both houses, is
as follows: For a public building at Abing
ton. Va., *25,000; at Harrisonburg, Va., *25,-
000. The provisions looking to the purchase
of property contiguous to the Norfolk
navy yard for the construction of a wet
dock, and the appropriation of $60,000 for
the completion of tne sections of the dry
dock of the Pensacola navy yard were
stricken out, as was also the Senate amend
ment appropriating *25,000 for a light
house at Ban Bias, Fla. The item of
*3,000 for a lighthouse at Mosquito Inlet
was retained.
The Senate will probably devote a large
part of the day to the transaction of execu
tive business, and the sllmly attended House
may be expected to do as little as possible
while awairlDg the receipt of the adjourn
ment resolution from the Senate. Aside
from the remaining possibility of the enact
ment of the tax reduction bill, the legisla
tive work of the first session ot the Forty
seventh Congrass Is already practically
closed. The House will leave behind it a
calendar of some seventy pages, consisting
of three divisions. The firs’. House calen
dar proper was the second calendar of the
committee of the whole, and the
third private calendar. On the House
calendar there remain 125 measures, on the
calendar of the committee of the whole
230, on the private calendar more than 400,
and on the Speaker’s table about 200. L)ur
trg the present session of Congress 7,182
bins and joint resolutions have been Intro
duced ln the House of Representatives. Of
this Immense total, 803 have been reported
favorably, 245 unfavorable, and no less than
6,134 remain ln the hands of the vari
ous committees. Three hundred and
three bills and joint resolutions have
passed the House (mo6t of them
pension bills and other measures
of a semi private nature, such as grants of
condemned caunon for soldiers’ monuments,
etc ). Two hundred and eighty-seven have
become laws, and forty-one await tbe Presi
dent’s approval. ln the Senate 2,283 bills
and joint resolutions have been introduced,
and 466 have been passed. At the
hour of final adjournment, besides
a great number of measures not yet
reported from the Senate committees,
there will remain upon the Senate calendar
about one hundred and ninety Senate bills
and joint resolutions, and seventy-one
House bills and resolutions, all of which
will have to take their chances at the next
session. Aside from the regular annual ap
propriation bills, about one hundred and
seventy bills and joint resolutions have
passed both bousee and become laws.
THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL
Washington, August s—The conference
committee on the naval appropriation bill
this morning agreed to only the clauses in
controversy, which' were In regard to the
closing of the navy yards. The Senate con
ferees receded from their disagreement, and
as agreed upon, the bill leaves the closing
of the navy yards to the discretion of the
Secretary of the Navy.
A CAUCUS ON THE REVENUE QUESTION. ✓
The Republican members of the Senate
held a fully attended caucus to-day, and
discussed the subject of the continued con
sideration of the tax bill. With a few dis
senting expressions, tbe opinion prevailed
that Congress should not adjourn wlthou r
adopting, in some form, a bill to relieve the
people from the present burdens of taxa
tion. Several Senators urged the lm
Dortance of passing the knit goods
bill. and It was stated that
va*' Interes’s • would be sacrificed
tf ihe b'll should be allowed to go over till
December. On the other hand It was urged
that should the tax bill he laid aside for
the knit goods bill the Democrats would insist
upon unlimited discussion and would weigh
down the bill with all the amendments that
have been offered to the tax bill, and that to
insist on action on either bill would result
in protracted party strife, and an Indefinite
prolongation of the session.
While Senators are reticent as to the ulti
mate decision of the caucus, it is pretty
generally understood that a practically
unanimous decision was reached to press
the tax bill to a vote, and, if possible, se
cure a vote without amendments upon the
knit goods bill. This decision, if adhered
to, will postpone; perhaps, indefinitely, any
action on the House resolution for adjourn
ment.

Mr. Blackburn of Kentucky, said that as
a member of the sub committee on the bill
dow under consideration, he would be deal
ing unfairly by the other side of the ftouse
if he were not to say that in the main this
was a decent and clear and honest sundry
civil bill. He did not. believe that there
was a job in it. He did not believe that It
carried a single solitary paragraph that
opened the vaults of the treasury to lob
byists or jobbers. The conference report was
agreed to and thus the last general appro
pr ation bill was disposed of by the House.

London, August s.—The Standard’s cor
respondent at St. Petersburg says: “There
is no longer any doubt that a divergence of
views exists between England and Russia,
which exercises a very prejudicial influence
upon all attempts to harmonize
England’s action in Egypt, with the legiti
mate rights and wishes of the powers. It is
not unlikely that this divergence will lead
to a breaK-up of the conference at an early
date, without any tangible result.
London, August 5, 6p.m —A dispatch to
Reuter’s Telegram Company, dated Alex
andria, 6:30 o’clock this evening, says: “At
five o’clock this afternoon the British
troops, with a number of field guns, served
by sailors, attacked tbe advanced guard of
Arabl Pasha near Ramleh,between the Mata
moudleh canal and the Cairo railway, firing
upon the enemy’s position from three sides.
Tne engagement, which is of a serious na
ture, still continues.
“Arabl Pasha sent fourteen men with a
white flag to the British camp this morning.
The party was received by Major Pringle,
but the Interview was without result.”
A dispatch from Port Said, dated August
4th, reiterates that the British troops have
landed at Ismailia.
The Spanish frigate Carmen had arrived
at Port Said and was about to enter the
canal.
The British were preparing reservoirs at
Sutz to ensure a plentiful supply of water.
It Is stated that the Khedive has authorized
tbe English Admiral at Port Said to take
what steps he thinks necessary ln the pro
tection of the canal, and has conferred
upon him the title of Governor of the
Isthmus.
Major General Graham will take com
mand of the British brigade at Ramleh.
The Times' correspondent at Berlin says
the greater part of the German press,refer
ring to the occupation of Buez by the Brit
ish, acknowledges that England has acted
wisely in occupying positions which now
are of great importance,to her.
The correspondent of the Standard at
Vienna states that the news of the occupa
tion of Suez has produced a deep impres
sion England’s ascendancy is now practi
cally acknowledged. Her calm energies
and honesty of resolution are making them
selves everywhere felt, and her prestige
stands on a far higher level than it has for
a long lime past.
The Austrian Cibinet Is using its In
fluence to bring about an understanding be
tween England and Turkey.
Alexandria, August 5, 11:30 p. m —The
object of ihe operations to day was to re
connoiter in force. Commencing at four
o’clock this afternoon a steady advance
was made, the marines upon the railway
line, the rifles upon the west bank of
M&hmoudeh canal, and the South Stafford
shire Regiment and mounted Infantry upon
ihe cast bank. The enemy were driven in
from all tbe advanced positions, and were
compelled to bring Into action all their
troops available In front of their
principal line of entrenchments
at Kfar el Dwar, namely: About four bat
talions of Infantry, a force of cavalry afllj
several guus. The latter were completely
silenced by the accurate fire of cur forty
pounders. The Egyptian Infantry held
their ground with considerable steadiness.
The marines on the railway, who were
under the immediate command of Gen.
Allison, pushed the enemy back upon
their second line of entrenchments
toward Kfar el Dwar. The marines were
supported bv the Sou'h Staffordshire Regi
ment and Rifles. They suffered somewhat,
but behaved with the greatest coolness and
steadiness under a heavy fire. The object
of tbe British operations, which was to com
pel the enemy to display what force and
what guns they had in front of their main
position, was completely attained. This
was ascertained by nightfall, when
tbe British were slowly and steadily with
drawn. No accurate return of tbe killed
and wounded 13 yet attainable. The ene
my’s loss is unknown. A large number of
wounded fell Into the hands of the British.
Many dead were seen. A considerable num
ber of ihe enemy were made prisoners.
The British lately made successful ex
periments with the 40-poUDders mentlone and
while mounted on the Ironclad railwa v
truck.

the SultaD, he has no power to Interfere
with It.
Madrid, August s.—General satisfaction
Is felt at the report that all the powers, ex
cept Turkey and Eogland, have admitted
the claims of Spain to be consulted ln re
gard to the protection of the Suez canal.
The newspapers here criticise the action of
England ln asking for time to reply.
Rome, August s.—The action of the Brit
ish In occupying Suez has surprised every
one.
London, August 6. —The Observer has the
following dispatch from Alexandria; “Yes
terday’s engagement is the subject of gen
eral comment here. In the opinion of mili
tary men of high professional experience,
nothing apparently has been gained to com
pensate for the heavy loss ln killed and
wounded. An armed train started to-day
for Mahalla Junction to discover if the rails
had again been taken out.”
The official report of Admiral Seymour con
cerning the encounter with tbe enemy of the
reconnolsance party at Malballa Junction on
Saturday, Is as follows : “Our force consist
ed of two hundred men of the naval bri
gade, with one forty pound and two
nine pounder guns, under Captain Fisher,
and one thousand marines under Colonel
Tucson, half of the battalion of the Thirty
eighth and Forty-sixth Regiments, and all
of the Blxth Regiment. We had a skirmish
with the enemy, which was two thousand
strong, with six guns and (fix rockets, from
half-past five until half-past seven in the
evening. The total casualties to the naval
brigade and marines are two killed and
twenty-two wounded.
The following Is General Allison’s report;
“Persistent native reports existing during
the past few days that Arab! Pa*ba was re
tiring from Kafr el Dwar upon Daminhour,
I determined upon a recounolssance to as
certain clearly whether Ar&bi still held his
original position strongly. Tbe left column
commenced to advance at 4:45 p. m. from
the advance pickets of Ramleh, thence by
both banks of the Mahmoudieh canal,
and soon came Into action with the enemy
who was strongly posted in a group of palm
trees on the eastern side and ln strong de
fensible bouses and gardens on the other
side. These positions were carried. At
this time Lieut. Vyse, of theJSlxth, and one
soldier were killed. The enemy then took
the second position, half a mile In
rear, upon the east bank of the
canal, among the high crops and
houses and behind the circular
banks of the canal. From this position also
the enemy were driven with great loss. I ac
companied the right column myself. As
soon as the enemy observed us they opened
fire with artillery. I pushed on as rapidly
as possible till I reached a point, where the
railway approached nearest to Mahmoudieh
canal, and then opened a musketry fire
upon the enemy lining the banks
of the canal. Two nine pounders were
dragged on the embankment and came into
action against the enemy’s guns, the forty
pounder firing over our heads, against a
point where the enemy’s forces were be
ginning to appear I now threw forward
two companies to carry a house near the
canal and followed up by throwing four
companies still more to my left, upon
the banks of,' and across the canal,
thus attaining the position I wished,
and forming a diagonal line across
both canal and roadway. The enemy re
tired slowly before us. The fire of their seven
pounders and nine centimeter guns was
speedily got under by our artillery. The
object of my reconnolssance was attain
ed. I determined to withdraw,
and this movement was carried out with
the most perfect regularity and precision.
The troops fell back by alternate companies
with the regularity of a field day. Every
attempt by the enemy to advance was
crushed by the beautiful precision of the
forty pounder and the steady firing of the
nine pounders. The losses of the enemy
appear to have been very great. They
were so dispirited that, contrary
to the usual practice of Asiatics,
they made no attempt to follow up our
withdrawal. Asa reconnolasance, the sue
cess of our move was all I could wish. I
regret to state that our loss was somewhat
heavy. Lieutenant Vyse was one of the
most promising officers I ever met. Onr
total loss was four killed and twenty-nine
wounded.”
Intelligence has been received from Con
stantinople that at the sitting of the con
ference, yesterday, Lord Duff eric, the
British Ambass.-dor, accepted the principle
of the collective protection of the Suez
canal. The Marquis de Noailles,the French
Ambassador, was forced to reserve bis
opinion, owing to the political crisis in
Parts. The other delegates, including the
Turkish representative, accepted the col
lective protection, with a modification
that there should only be a provisional
supervision of the canal. Lord
Dufferln again Insisted upon a proclama
tion of Arabl Pasha as a rebel. He pointed
out that rumor* had spread in Eeypt that
the Sultan protected Arab! Pasha, and
would send troops to drivs out tbe English.
He further called attention to the fact that
the Porte had not yet given a written
statement of Its adhesion to the terms of
the identical note. He said England might
regard the delay as an actual refusal and
act accordingly. The Turkish delegates
promised a written reply at the next meet
ing of the conference.
Constantinople, August 6 —Bald Pasha
ha 6 informed the conference that the troops
which started for Egypt at the beginning
of the week are recruits, who will remain at
Salonica. The real expedition will consist
of a council of war, composed of Hassan
Pasha, 'he Minister of Marine, and three
Colonels, who will go to Suda Bay, which
will be used as a military depot.
It is stated that Servar Pasha
will proceed to Alexandria. One of
the transports which left here on the 3d
inst. with artillery and stores for Alexan
dria, has returned broken down. Two
transports have arrived at Salonica, but
they have not yet taken on board any troops.
Contracts for stores have not yet been
signed, and it is si 111 doubted that the pro
posed expedition will start.

steamer Marathon has sailed hence for
Egypt with a detachment of the hospital
corps, a number of field hospital carts,
thirteen officers and two hundred and
twenty men of the Royal Irish Regiment.

has not yet come to a decision In regard to
proclaiming Arabl Pasha a rebel. It Is un
derstood that the powers continued to re
commend to bltn to adhere to Eugland’6
proposal.

Immense Destruction o^Properiy.
Columbus, 0., August s.—The informa
tion to-day is that the trains of the Ohio
Central Railroad are running no further
south than Waxahala, and the road will re
quire several weeks of repair before they

much greater than at first report
ed. From a point three miles north of
Corning, down to South Bend, and up the
west branch of the Ohio Central to Buck
ingham, a distance of sixteen to eighteen
miles,the track Is almost entirely destroyed.
For miles It cannot be observed that the
railroad was located there. Most ail of tbe
live stock In the two valleys was swept
away. It Is believed the total loss will ap
proximate half a million dollars.

Long Branch, August 5 —This afrernoon
the Executive Committee of the Monmouth
Park Association caused to be nailed to the
grand stand of tbe track the decision in the
Eallj-Walton turf scandal. It Is as fol
lows:
“In the matter ot fhtrfifrarjfes brought by”
Jos. E Kelly against F. T. Walton, that he
had bribed the jockeys of Marathon and In
constanla to pull those horses In the race
specified, the Executive Committee of the
Monmouth Park Association find that the
charges are not supported by proof or proba
bility, but in the coarse of such Investiga
tion it was admitted by Walton that
he frequently gave larger sums of
tnoDev to the trainer and the jockeys.
That these gifts are made out of pure lib
erality Is not credited. If not Intended to
corrupt, their tendency Is corruption. One
object unquestionably Is to obtain informa
tion which belongs exclusively to the own
ers. In the hope of arresting the evil
growing out of similar practices without
having recourse to more stringent measures,
the following clause is inserted In and made
tbe fourth paragraph of the seventh rul -of
racing, a violation of which Is punishable
by ruling off the course :
‘ “If any person gives or offers
to any trainur, jockey or employe,
or if any trainer, jockey or em
ploye accepts nny gra’uitv, whether in
form of money, share ln a bet or any other
benefit, without previous consent of the
owner whose horses give occasion to
gratuity, and to whom the trainer, jockey
or employe is engaged; or If any person be
guilty of any other corrupt and fraudulent
practices on the turf In this or any other
country, every person so offending shall be
ruled off the course.’ ”
Mr. K“l!y, In an Interview with an Asso
ciated Press agent, said. In reference to the
decision, that the action of the committee
would be felt ln racing before another year
was passed, as it placed a premium npon
dishonest practices. He claimed to have
done his share to protect the Interests of the
iurf, and said he could afford to abide the
result if others could. Mr. Kelly suspended
business to-day before the last race was run.
Mr. Walton was found among the book
makers, with whom he was anxious to
wager large turns that Frank Short would
win the steeple chase. He had nothing to
say other than that the decision was a com
plete vindication of his character as a sport
ing man. He said that he would sue Mr.
Kelly for defamation of character.

Atlanta, August s.— From all around us in
this iDimidiate vicinity, we hear the complaint
of too much rain. In addition to almost daily
thunder showers, we are having steady damp,
cloudy or light rainy weather, which is bad for
growing crops.
Some months ago I suggested, in a letter,
that anew union passenger depot should be
built near the Central and Western and Atlantic
freight depots, where there is plenty of room,
and the present dirty, overcrowded and in
convenient passenger depot be Used as a city
market. Active efforts are now being made to
secure this result.
As favorable reports have come in from all

A RICH JOKE UNFOLDED.
Keoently a very distinguished gentleman of
this country wrote to a State official in this
C vs' °Ji P U^C business, but no one, in or out of
the office, could decipher the signature, which
looked as though severalatreaks of chain light
ning had run through it in different directions,
finally, however, the desired information was
sent, the letter being addressed to "Miss T.
Hancock that being the only name whicti
any person could make out of the peculiar sig
nature.
In due time a raply came with thanks for the
information sent, and explaining that the
writer was not a "Miss,” but a full grown Mr.,
and furnishing the ”ear marks” necessary to
decipher the signature. A clerk in the office,
noted for his good humor and shrewdness, pre
pared the following reply, but his chief con
sidered it "tocf funny” for an official com
munication, but not for preservation, so here
it is: “Yours to hand. Glad you informed us
as to the illegible characters in your signature.
Give it up. Shall clip and post it among our
curiosities, and should the Emperor of China
ever pass this way, we shall submit It to him
as perhaps some parts of the lost hieroglyphics
of that ancient and peculiar people.”

Judge Henry Kent McCay, the new United
States Court Judge, was born in Pennsylvania,
but has long been a resident of Georgia. He is
a brother of Prof. Chas. F. McCay, LL. D.,
formerly of the State University, but now of
Baltimore. He has filled several important
public positions, the highest being Justice of
the Supreme Court and Brigadier General of
State troops during the war. Asa lawyer
he to held in high esteem, and as a citizen he is
universally popular.
As Major Ellis Phelan, the efficient Clerk of
the Alabama Legislature, has been nominated

to succeed Major Phelan, Having been almost
elected in a previous contest, and with a most

his success with that rival out of the way. Mc

and will fill it with dignity and success.
GENERALS AS DISTINGUISHED EDUCATORS.
The Morning News mentions the fact that
the widow of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart to connected
with a female seminary at Maun ton Va You
might have added that the widow of Gen.
John Pegram his a female school In Baltimore,
and the widowof Gen. Edwin G. Lee, a school
' in Leffflgtoh,' tier'll ti'bgi&Z todies of high cul
ture, and successful educators,desexyp
well of the people in whose behalf their heroic
husbands fell in the fore front of battle, leav
in*r them unprovided for in this world’s goods.
When tbe war closed Gen. Robert E. Lee be
came President of a college and an educator
of the young. His noble example has been
followed by more than a score of hto ablest
commanders, among whom are Generals D. H.
Hill, 8. D. Lee. A. P. Btewart, G. W C Lee, F.
H. Smith, Josiah Gorgan F. A. Shoup, J H
Lane, Wm F. Perry, George P. Harrison. Jr ,
M. P. Lowry. E N. Pendleton. R. E Colston.
W. M Browne, G. D Johnston, W. R Boegs,
F. W. Capers, E M. Law, and George W. Rains,
and V. H. Taliaferro, professors in medical
colleges.
The above to a most creditable showing for
the men who made war their business for four
long and bloody years, and came out of the
contest broken in fortunes, and without em
ployment suited to their qualifications. By
p- rseverance, however they have come into
positions of great usefulness and honor.
REPUBLICANS INHARMONIOUS.
The Republicans have been better than
usual. Instead of having their usual row in
the convention, the "bosses” bolted and had it
all their own way in the United States Court
room, and the convention at the capitol was
orderly and harmonious, and represented the
great mass of the colored people of the State.
Of course Bryant was there, as he can never
secure a decent foothold with white Republi
cans. With him out of the convention it would
have been quite a respectable affair. But then
the other convention had Farrow, so that they
were likewise borne down by a “oalamity."
Two tickets are in the field, both strong so
far as the white men are concerned, and both
calculated to draw out a good colored vote.
But no one is foolish enough to suppose that
any one of these candidates stands any chance
of election.
Whether both tickets are kept in the field, or
become united, the only purpose in putting
them forth is to call out a nig vote in all parts
of the State for Republican candidates for the
Gleneral Assembly and Congress. Of course
an effort will be made to elect General Gartrell
for Governor, but the great fight will be to
control the Legislature and increase the num
ber of Republican Congressmen.
The effort of Farrow and others to crush
Pledger has signally failed. He was brought
to trial yesterday for the court house caucus
rumpus, and acquitted, despite the testimony
of Farrow, Longstreet and Norris. Ex-
Congressman Buck, who is Chairman of the
Btate Central Committee, is one of the shrewd
est politicians in the Btate, and with B. D.
Locke, will see that every “stump” in Georgia
has a speaker, and every beat a worker for the
Republican ticket. Plenty of money is prom
ised from Washington. Now Ist the Democrats
unite heartily, work without oeasing, put out
their best men for office and vote unitedly.
SAPKLO QUARANTINE STATION.
Your correspondent could not be at two con

desires to return his thanks to Mr. Wm. Cant
well, of Savannah, for assistance kindly ren
dered in making reports of the Farrow con
vention, by giving access to his records as
Secretary. Also, tor a copy of his resolution
in regard to Bapelo quarantine station, the
adoption of which he secured by an earnest
and well timed speech, and then had It for
warded to Congress. This is the full text?
Whereas, It having come to the knowledge
of the members of this convention that Bapelo
quarantine station is to be discontinued by
reason of a failure of Congressional appropri
ation for same; and wheieas, this station
having been established by the National
Government in 1880, for the specific
purpose of detaining infected vessels
from foreign and domestic ports until
they shall have been thoroughly cleansed and
disinfected, and freed from the germs of pesti
lence and disease: and whereas, this work
having been faithfully performed by the offi
cers of this station since its organization, as Is
evidenced by the total absence < f yellow fever
at our ports, although several infected vessels
having yeUow fever on board have visited us
after nelng disinfected at this stattSn; and
whereas, it is the sense of this convention that
the importance of maintaining a stati'-i, n f
this kind outside of the regular line nf
cannot be over estimatedTthe^efn^

Congress the pressing necessity for a suitable
appropriation for the same.

A MANIAC’S FREAK.
A Priest Confronted Before tke Altar
by a madman with a Huge Knife.
The Pittsburg lHspatch of Monday says:
at. Mary’s Catholic Cuureh, at the corner
of Third avenue and Perry street, was the
scene of a very seusatlonai occurrence last
evening. A large congregation had assem
bled to vespers, and service had scarcely
begun, when a stout, well built man, dress
ed roughly In a dark suit, stalked In and
seated hltuself In the rear of the room with
out taking hto hat off. He held in hto right
hand a huge black-handled case knife, and
as the gas light fell upon its open blade it
gleamed like a mirror, indicating that it had
Just been sharpened, and the point was very
sharp. A gentleman named O’Brien, who
sat In tbe pew, motioned courteously
to the stranger to take off his hat and he
did so and at the same time struck the
weapon on the back of tbe pew in front of
him and closed It with a snap. This at
tracted the attention of tbe whole audience,
but nothing was done, it being believed
that the man must be either intoxicated or
insane, and at all events dangerous to have
anything to do with. As the service was
drawing to a close and tbe officiating priest,
Father Lambing, was about to walk to the
front ot the altar, the man arose and walked
to the front and stood within a few feet of
the altar, still holding the kulfe In his hand,
but with tbe blade concealed from sight un
der the fold of his coat sleeve. He spoke
roughly to a gentleman who remonstrated
with him and said that he must see
Father Lambing. "I have something
very Important to tell him, and I must
do it now,” he said. At this Father Lam
bing, who bad noticed him before, advanced
slowiy toward him with a smile of recogni
tion, when a shrill voice of warning called
out: “That man has got a knife! Don't go
near him.” Several others joined in the
cry, and the clergyman taking in the situa
tion at once, spraug to the door leading to
the pastorate and escaped, closing it after
him. Still nobody cared to lay hands on
the dark-browed intruder, and he was
allowed to take his own time In
getting out of tde church. He walked to
wards the corner of Fourth and Ferry,
where he was arrested by officer Duffy, who
had been put on the track of him by mem
bers of tbe church. At the lockup he re
fused to give his name or make any reply
to questions asked him, but sai with a look
of sulien surliness on his face, gazing
dreamily about. He did not appear to be
intoxicated. He would not gve his name
and the officials in charge said that they did
not know him. He to about live feet seven
Inches high, compactly built, and has a
dark complexion, dark hair, and a small,
black moustache.
Shortly before eight o’clock he met
Officer Gallagher on the corner of Second
avenue and Ferry street, and said: “Can
youcome up here and arrest a man for me?
I can point him out for you.”
“What has he done?” asked the officer.
“He broke open a store a 1 the coruer of
Fourteenth and Penn, and I have a warrant
for him.”
“Well, who ate you?”
“I’m a detec ive,” was the reply. “I’ve

walked away on hto beat. He afterwards
spoke to a young man, who said that he saw
the man pull out his knife and say: “I’ll
cut the out of that fellow, if I catch
him again.” Officer Gallagher then notified
Officer Duffy to be on the look ou>, and
next saw his man after the arrest, and when
on the way to the Central Statiou.
it was subsequently ascertained that tbe
man boarded at Horr’s saloon, corner
Fourth avenue and Ferry street, up to about
two months ago, when he was sent off for
refusing to pay his bills. Shortly after leav
ing he was sent to tbe workhouse for an
offense, the nature of which was not learn
ed, and was discharged only a few days ago.
Mr. Horr, the saloon keeper, was visited
last night, aDd at first professed to be en
tirely Ignorant of the man, but afterward
admitted that he knew him and that he had
boarded at bis house. While the reporter
was talking to him a child spoke up, “Why,

SIR harnet wolseley.
Description of H leeilug wltb tee
nud Jacbann, and Hta Opinion of
itie Southern Chiefs.
In September, 1802. having some leisure
from his duties In Canada, Col. Wolseley
took a notion to visit, the Confederacy, and
note tbe progress of the war from that side,
and make the acquaintance of the Southern
Generals of note. He bad only six weeks’
time, however, hut made the m tot of It. He
received with open arms by the Southern
ladies, and the various i fficials and Gener
als of the Confederate army whom he met.
He visited Gen. Lee’s headquarters, then
near Winchester. Of the great Southern
Captain General Wolseley says: “He Isa
strongly built man, about 5 feel 11 in
height, and apparently not more than 50
years of age. Hto hair aDd beard are nearly
white, but his dark brown eyes still shine
with all tbe brightness if youth, and beam
with a most pleasant expression. Indeed,
his whole face is klndlv and benevolent in a
high degree. * * * We sat with him for a
ioog time in his tent conversing on and
variety of topics, the state of public aff lira
being, of oourse, the leading one. You
have only to he in bis society for a very
brief period to be convinced that whatever
he says may be Implicitly r-lied upon, and
that he to quite incapable of departing from
the truth under any circumstances ” He was
especially struck with the absence of “the
pomp and circumstance of war” at Gen. Lee’s
headquarters, which consisted of a fence
corner tent, with no sentries on guard, and
no aides loitering about. On leaving Gen.
Lee. the Colonel ptid a visit to Stonewall
Jackson, who was at Hunker’s Hill, six
miles nearer Martinsburg. Of him
Wolesley says: “Dressed in his gray uni
form, he looks the hero that he is; and his
thin, compressed lips calm glance,
which meets yours unflluchinglv, gave evi
dence of that firmness and decision of char
acter for which he is so famous. * * #
Altogether, as one of his soldiers said tome
when speaking of him, ‘he is a glorious fel
low,’ and, after I left him, I felt that I had
at last solved a mystery, and discovered
why it was that he had accomplished such
almost miraculous feats. WUh such a
leader men would go anywhere, and face
any amount of difficulties.”
