IKI-ll NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Savannah Send* a Delegate to the Boston
Convention.
The meeting of Branch No. 464 ot the
Irish National League on Friday night at
Catholic Library Hall was the largest
held for some months. Col. Feter Reilly,
thf* Vice President, presided, with M. A.
O' Byrne. Secretary.
After the transaction of some routine
business, which is of no special interest
to the public, the Branch proceeded to
elect a delegate to the National Conven
tion, whieh is to meet in Boston on Aug.
13. The names of three or four gentlemen
had t*een suggested for the honor,
but among theni was one upon whieh the
members showed a great unanimity of
feeling, and accordingly when the elec
t ion was ordered Sergt. John B. Killourhy
was nominated. There being no other
nominations that gentleman was elected
without a dissenting vote amid a great
deal of enthusiasm. Sergt. Killourhy is
one ot the oldest and most popular mem
bers of the Savannah police force and
w ill doubtless be granted a leave of ab
sence in order that he may represent his
brethren at the Boston convention. It is
expected that the session will last three
or four days.
STEAMSHIP CHANGES.
The “Citv of Savannah” to Go on the New
York Line While the ••Tallahassee" i*
Overhauled.
It will be seen by relerenee to the ad
vertised schedule of the Ocean Steamship
Company that the steamship City of Sa
vannah will go on the New Yoik route in
place of the Tallahassee. The latter will
lav up for a short while. She will go
into the dry dock at New York fbr the
purpose of being overhauled. After
her the City ~of Augusta, and
also the City of Savannah, will
take their turn" in the dock later on.
This will necessitate a slight change in
the time of the round trip between here
and New York, which will, as the season
advances, be made in twelve days instead
of nine, as on the present schedule.

THE FACTORS 1 WALK.
HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT
THOROUGHFARE.
How It Derived It* Name—Orignal
Boundaries of the Wharf Loti and
Outline of the Property Along the
Bluff—The Trustee*’ Garden and the
Lot* at New Deptford—A Romance of
1708 and How It Ended.
The closing up of “Factors’ Walk,’’
anticipated in a petition to the City
Council last week, revives an interest in
the history of that ancient thoroughfare.
Ita origin is not distinct. Its name indi
cates that it was used by the factors in
some way. In order to obtain as much as
liossible of its early history a Morning
News reporter called upon Isaac Beckett.
Esq., whose knowledge of the city's
records would be likely to bring to light
some reliable information concerning the
locality,
Mr. Beckett was found in his office,
seated at a desk, surrounded by a dozen
voluminous books of record and a map of
the city spread out before him. “Factors’
Walk,” he said, after listening to the
reportei’s inquiry and consulting his
memoranda, "is that narrow street below
the edge of the bluff, in the rear of the
wharf lots. It derived it name from the
fact that in former years many of the
leading factors and commission mer
chants had their principle business offices
opening upon it. In regard to its owner
ship, I understand that the ques
tion will probably come before
the courts for adjudication at
an early date, and I question the pro
priety either of expressing any opinion in
advance of its settlement by the court, or
of furnishing either party with ammuni
tion for the battle. Of course, all that I
know concerning the wharf property has
been gleaned from the public records,
which are aecessable to ail parties who
will spend the time necessary for their
examination.”
Mr. Beckett desired an opportunity to
obtain further facts in regard to the
thoroughfare and its history in connec
tion with the property along the river
front, and yesterday prepared an inter
esting narrative of that part ol the city’s
domain.
WHARF LOTS UNDER THE BLUFF.
“The southern boundaries of the
wharf lots,’’ he says, “are not
always accurately described in the
records. In the ancient deeds they
are in nearly all cases descrißfed as
‘wharf lots under the bluff,’ having a
definite width, and ‘extending from low
water mark’ sometimes to the bluff—in
other cases to ‘the Bay or
strand,’ and frequently ‘to the line
of the other wharf lots.’ The deeds
in a few instances give the depth, but the
many changes produced by the action of
the river upon the snore before the erec
tion of the wharves render these descrip
tions in point of exactness of uncertain
value. Williamson's wharf, which was
carved from a piece of land originally
granted to Henry Ellis, is the most exact,
as the southern line was definitely
marked.
“A brief outline of the wliarf property
may not prove uninteresting. Before the
commercial importance of the city re
quired an extensive wharf front we had
the wharf lots east of Bull street and
west of Bull street. Those west of Bull
commenced at a prolongation of the west
line of town lot No. 4, In Digby
tithing, Decker ward, a little east of Jef
ferson street, No. 1 starting at that point
and extending in numerical order to No.
9at the Exchange wharf. On the east of
Bull street, No. 1 started the series at the
west line ot Lincoln street and continued
in like order to No. 9 at the Exchange
wharf.
“On the west, as the city increased in
size, the lot at the foot of West Broad was
designated as No. 10, west ol Bull, and
those following it eastward as Nos. 11 to
16, whieh latter joined No. 1.
“As the needs of wharf room increased
anew series was named ‘wharf lots east
of Lincolu street,’ No. 1 starting at the
east line of that street, and extending
eastward to East Broad street, which
bounded No. 10. The Yaniacraw wharf
lots, nine in number, were always known
by that name.
THE TRUSTEES’ GARDEN.
“ ‘Trustees’ Garden.’ composed ol a
square of ten acres immediately east of i
East Broad street, bounded on the north j
by the Savannah river, was divided into :
lots at a verv early peri oil, the four front
ing the river becoming known in later
ve’ars as the wharf lots 9, Trustees' Gar
den. Again, in 1839, anew series, six in
number, known as the ‘Eastern
Wharves,’ were carved from the l.ange
plantation, or farm, by the then owners.
“Still another piece of land, between
the Trustees’ Garden and eastern wharves, j
has always loomed up ‘solitary and alone’ J
for manv years as and for
many subsequent years, up to the present
date.’ as ‘Lamar’s wharf,’ without any dis- 1
tinguishing number, standing entirely
upon its own merits.
THE WHARF LOTS AT NEW DEPTFORD.
“About the year 1798 Nicholas Bayard
established a fine of wharf lots neajf the
present Fort Jackson, three miles below
the city. For several years this property
was ori what is in modern days called a
boom, selling frequently at prices rang
ing from SBOO to $1,500 for 100 feet front
on the river and 300 in depth.
As the years rolled on these lots
became a drug in the market, and
at last disappeared entirely from the list
of wharf lots. The last transfer of any of
this property was in 1850 or thereabouts.
Who knows what the luture may have in
store lor this place? I forgot to mention
that these were generally known as the
‘New Deptford,’ or ‘Five Fathom Hole’
wharf lots, obtaining tbe latter name
from the very deep water immediately in
Iront of the spot.
“A lease to one of the wharf lots near
Lincoln street, executed early in this
century, provides that the lessee shall
‘erect a good crane on the wharf for the
unloading of goods, and another crane to
answer the three stories of the building
erected on said wharf,’ and also required
him ‘to construct a stairway from the
ground to the top of the bluff.’
|ROMAXCK IN THE RECORDS.
“In connection with another wharf lot
appears what might be used as the foun
dation for a novel. I will give the story
iti my own language, omitting names, of
course, although necessity for this pre
caution may not be apparent, as there is
nothing in it to wound the feelings of any
of the descendants of the parties, if such
exist,
“A lady prominent in the highest circles
of Savannah, in the year 1798 formed a
matrimonial alliance with a gentleman of
corresponding sooihl rank, who was also
a resident of the city. The marriage con
tract executed between them trans
ferred to trustees, among other real estate
m the city and county, the wharf lot to
which I- allude, one half for the lady in
question, and the other half, undivided,
for such child or children as might result
from their union.
“Four years later the lady again appears
upon the scene, this time as the widow
or the male party to the farmer agreement,
executing another ante-nuptial contract
with a gentleman ol eminence in the po
litical and social history ot the city of
Charleston, in the adjoining State of
South Carolina. The new contract vested
in another set of trustees the undivided
one-half interest of Mrs. in the prop
erty. the other half remaining in the trus
tees first appointed for the use and bene
fit of the children of the previous mar
riage—two in number.
WHY THEY SEPARATED.
“Only a short interval of time intervenes
—about eight months—before the parties
to the latter marriage contract once more
present themselves" upon the records,
now in the execution of articles of sepa
ration. superinduced (so the record is
compelled to say), by the settled aversion
of the lady to a residence in South Caro
lina. In the agreement she says, in sub
stance, that she has informed
her husband of the existence
of such an aversion to South
Carolina as cannot be overcome, and, as
his peculiar business relations render it
impossible for him to reside in Georgia,
thev have jointly concluded that a per
manent separation is the only remedy
for the existing evil. This deed transfers
to anew set of trustees all the property
(among it the wharf lot) owned by the
lady at the time of marriage for her use,
and subject to such disposition as by will
or otherwise she might direct.
AN AVERSION TO SOVTH CAROLINA.
“In this document the most careful pro
vision is made for the protection of the
individual interests ot the parties, as thev
existed at the time of their marriage. A
‘riding chair' belonging to the lady,
which was left in Charleston, is ex
changed for a similar article belonging to
the husband, then in Savannah. Her
phaeton, in Charleston, is subject
to her order, upon the payment
of certain charges due for repairs
thereon. to her is not
apparent, as himself to pay the
small sum of $l5O for the support and
THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1881,
maintenance of an expected child for
the period of one year, should the infant
live 60 long, and a proportionate sum
if it should die within the year.
“Only once again does this lady present
herself’ upon the records, this time as a
party in the division of the wharf lot and
other property between herself and the
children of the first marriage, but as the
widow of the husband last mentioned, who
seems to have left no heir to share in the
distribution.
“Now, what is the true inwardness of
that story f Was the aversion of the lady
really so great or did her pride prevent
her from divulging the actual cause ot
her troubles ? Who can tell ? These dry,
old records divulge many a story of do
mestic infelicity, and many more lie con
cealed in the legal construction of the
articles of separation, so frequently met in
their pages.”
SAVANNAH’S VISITING WHEELMEN.
The Cyclist*’ Trip to Macon and Their
Part in the Tournament—How They
Brought Home the Prize.
The Savannah wheelmen, who went to
Macon on Wednesday to attend the
bicycle tournament, returned home yes
terday morning. The party comprised
Messrs. Abbott Thomas, Allison Bell, J.
R. Saussy, Jr., Bloom Brown, Frederick
M. Tunison, C. E. Deterich and John Tur
ton. On their way back they met at Mil
len Aleck H. MacDonell, ' a member
of their club who had been absent from
Savannah about two weeks in North
Georgia, and was returning home from
Augusta. When he saw his fellow wheel
men in the car and caught sight of their
machines, he was greatly surprised, as he
was not aware that any of the Savannah
club intended’to go to Macon. On learn
ing that some of them had partici
pated in the tournament, and that
one of them had won the second prize, a
handsome gold medpl, his intention to up
braid his friends for not informing him by
telegraph of their proposed trip, gave way
to expressions of pleasure and gratifica
tion. A reporter of the Morning News
learned from those who returned yester
day that when they went to Macon none
of them had decided to enter the race as
the rains had prevented them from prac
ticing for over two weeks immediately
preceding the contest, and Mr. Thomas,
who won the medal, had been out of prac
tice for a much longer period, his machine
being broken and only repaired a day or
two before the race occurred. On the’ ar
rival of the party in Macon they met the
wheelmen from Columbus and other cities
and participated in the street parade,
whieh attracted a great deal of attention,
being witnessed by thousands of people.
Messrs. Thomas and Saussy decided fi
nally to enter. The contestants in the
five-mile dash were T. S. Ingram,
of Columbus, John Polhill and
W. A. Taylor of Macon, Abbott Thomas
and J. R. Saussy, Jr., ol Savannah. A
large number of other wheelmen were
present with their machines, but not as
The half mile track was
lined with people. At 4:45 o’clock on Fri
day afternoon in the midst of a shower ol
rain the word “Go” was given
with Thomas in the lead, followed by
Saussy, Ingram, Polhill and Taylor in
the order named. Thomas kept the lead
until near the finish, when Ingram made
a spurt and came in first in 21 minutes
and 26 seconds. Thomas was only a few
seconds behind, and received the second
prize. Mr. Saussy was fouled
during the race by Taylor,
and both retired from ’ the track.
When Ingram and Thomas were known
to have won the first and second prizes
many of the spectators rushed upon the
track to congratulate them. At this junc
ture Air. Polhill, who was a quarter of a
mile behind, came dashing in and ran in
to Mr. Madison Jones. Mr. Polhill re
mounted his bicycle and finish
ing the fifth mile was awarded
the third prize of sls. It was the inten
tion of Air. Thomas to enter the mile
race, but owing to a misunderstanding it
was called with only one entry—John
Little, of Alacon—on the track. This
gentleman .made the mile in 4 minutes
and oy* seconds, and was presented with
a silver tilting pitcher.
The Savannah cyclists speak in the
highest terms of the courtesy shown them
by the citizens ot Macon, and by their
brother wheelmen of the State who were
at the tournament. It is proposed to have
another contest in a few months, probably
at Columbus, where there is a good track.
The tournament was the leading feature
of the day’s sports at Alacon, and the first
contest o"f the kind that has ever taken
place in Georgia.
THE OGLETHORPES’ CHILLY DAY.
The Dixie* Wiping Out Their Record of
Defeat—Tliev Leave Their Rival* at
the Rat Two Run* Rehintl—The Game*
in the League and Associations.
Any kind ol a base ball contest usually
draws a good crowd. Savannahians this
year have taken a deep interest in the
game, and the city may be said to have
caught the eraze and gone wild. It has
been no off-season so far as the crowds
that have gathered at the park are con
cerned. The 400 spectators who occupied
the benches and grand stand yesterday to
witness the Ogletborpe-Dixie game antici
pated an inteiesting contest, but they
were doomed to disappointment. The
Dixies seemtd not to have for
gotten that the Oglethorpes had
robbed them of three straight games and
were a game ahead and appeared deter
mined upon revenge. They secured it bv
defeating their rivals by a score of 5 to 3.
The game places both clubs equal in the
race, with each struggling for the odds.
The match was devoid ol any interest
from the beginning to the end, and
it was hard to get up any kind of a crow
when either side scored a run or made a
play that ordinarily would provoke
enthusiasm. Up to the fourth inning the
score column was blank, when the Dixies
broke the monotony and brought two men
across the home p’late. This started the
ball,and in the next inning the Oglethorpes
followed suit. From then on the game
was bagged through in any way. The
Oglethorpes had their new battery out.
Uomm pitched fairly, and made a fine
stop, grabbing a liotliner from the bat.
Benet “catches on the ground kneeling
in the dirt and taking the ball under the
bat or anywhere he can get it. His playing
yesterday was ordinary, and was charac
terized by poor throwing and weak bat
ting. Fitzgefald caught on to the fact
that he was a nervous player, and under
took to “rattle” him with a man on third
base by yelling at the runner at every ball
that left the pitcher’s hands. Norton, of
the Dixies, did better work than he has
been credited in former games. The clubs
will play again on Tuesday. The follow
is the score:

Cool Weather Keep* at Home the Peo

Record of Temperature.
Yesterday was thought by many to
have been the hottest day of the season.
Mercury stretched itself toward the
nineties, but failed to get there. People
whose business called them out of doors,
though, got a clear idea of the extent ot
the heat.
The cool rains for the past month pre
ceding the scorching July sun made the
day 6eem warmer than the thermometer
indicated that it really was. Although
the sun beat down its torrid rays the heat
was tempered by a fresh atmosphere,
and was on that account less oppressive
than it would otherwise have been.
As it was, pedestrians sought the shady
side of the streets, and evervbody looked
for the coolest crossing— The compara
tive record of last year,
however, shows that the day was unusu
ally cool. The highest rise’ of mercury
during the corresponding day a year ago
was 92 degrees, while yesterday it was 88.
The following will show the score as re
corded at the Signal Station:

With the coming of the hot spell people
who usually go to the resorts will begin
to pack their baggage for the springs and
mountains. There are estimated to be at j
least 3,000 Savannahians who spend the
summer, or a portion of it, out :
of the city. A Morning News
reporter inquired yesterday at the j
various railroad and steamship offices j
what proportion of that number had al
ready lett. “Travel don’t compare with
last year," was the almost unanimous re
ply. “Not one-third of those who usually
go have yet gone,” said a promi
nent railroad ticket agent. "The
resort travel has hardly yet be
gun. The cool weather last month
kept people at home, and many who usu
ally leave in June have been spending
their time at the nearby places and will
go later in the season to the resorts in the
North and West. It is safe to say that
the summer travel is at least three weeks, '
and 1 might say a month, later than last
year. Many people who went fur
ther last ’ year will this year
stay at the Georgia resorts. Those who
do go beyond the State will, many of them,
go to the Northwest lakes, a compara
tively new direction for summer travel.”
Rail travel to the North is brisk, hut
steamer travel shows a considerable tail
ing off. Whether this is due
to the Jscarcity of money,
or to other causes, is not accounted for.
It is predicted, however, by railroad men
that next month will witness an exodus
of the other two thousand people who
have usually gone by the 15th of this
month.

THE STEAMBOAT “FLORIDA.”
Suit Growing Out of Her Purchase—
Other Business in the Superior
Court. *
Some months ago the Georgia and
Florida Inland Steamboat Company pur
chased the steamboat Florida froimthe
Ocean Steamship Company of Savamiah
and paid a portion of the purchase money
and gave their notes secured by mortgage
for the remainder. When the time came
for the payment of the balance
of the money the steamboat com
pany pleaded failure of consider
ation, claiming that the boat did not meet
the expectation of the purchasers. The
case was called in the Superior Court
! yesterday, when the Auditor was given
until the first day of December
term to complete his examination of the
books and accounts of the boat and to
make his report to the court.
In the case of Augustus G. Guerard
and others, complainants, and John M.
Guerard and others, defendants, the jury

creditable manner,*vhen the court di
rected him to take his order. The court
then took a recess until to-morrow morn
ing at 9 o’clock.

DAMAGED BY THE RAINS.
The Truck Farm* and Melon Field*
Flooded—Tha Peach Crop Blighted—
Shipment* Rapidly Drawing to a
Close—Rie in the Peach Market.
The recent rains have been the sub
ject of a great deal of com
ment, as they followed one another
in a succession of showers, more or less
severe, during nineteen successive days
in June, and four days in July, and it was
feared that much damage bad been done.
A reporter of the Morning News
called on a number of gardeners and
fruit growers yesterday in order to
obtain an approximate idea of the injury
to growing vegetables and fruits, anil
learned that In some portions of the coun
ty, where potatoes were planted in low
ground, the beds were covered with wa
ter, and the crop was probably ruined by
rot. In some neighborhoods there is a
prospect of saving a small portion of
the crop, but the extent of the
acreage that will be saved cannot be ap
proximated. Cabbages that were in the
ground are seriously damaged, except in
a few isolated places. Tomatoes have
generally escaped damage, while okra and
guinea squash or egg plant are almost a
total failure. The vines of the latter
vegetable were beaten down, and where
this fruit touched the earth it has been
damaged by rot. The only vegetable
which has thrived during the wet spell is
the sweet potato, which is rapidly grow
ing and gives indications of a fine yield,
It is safe to say that over one-half, if not
three-quarteis, of the expected yield of
vegetables in this section for the* season
is wholly destroyed. Corn, cotton and
grass, like the sweet potato, are in a
flourishing condition.
The peach crop has also lieen greatly
damaged and the market is in conse
quence quotablv higher. The rain caused
the fruit all through the State to All out
too rapidly, and the yield gives indication
of speedy decay, which shows itself first
in a more speck on the surface
followed by rapid rotting of the fruit. A
gentleman living in Washington county
said yesterday that two or three weeks
ago he felt sure of shipping 20,000 baskets
from his orchards, whereas he had sent
to the market only 6,000 baskets.
The fruit was rotting so fast
that it would be ~ useless to
forward another shipment. The reports
from all the peach growers show that
about two-thirds of the crop iffidestroyed.
The melon crop has also suffered, the
rains causing the melons to lose their
sweetness or to drop from the vine.
Canteloupes and muskmelons have
been injured, many of them rotting
before ripening.
The late crop of watermelons is de
stroyed, especially in the Southern por
tion of the State. The greater portion
of the early crop has been forwarded
to market, and the season’s ship
ments will probably be concluded in about
ten or fifteen days. The Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company made
arrangements to forward this season, in
accordance with the expectations of
planters, based upon the acreage in cul
tivation, 3,000 car loads. They have al
ready forwarded less than 1,00(5 car loads,
and as the season is expected to close
in a couple of weeks aft the
latest, the total shipments over that line
and its connections of melons grown
within the State will hardly exceed 800
car loads more. The shipments of late
vegetables over this road averages about
two car loads daily, or 1,200 crates at the
most.

The First Congressional District.
Editor Morning News: I was glad to
see a communication in the Morning
News a few days ago, in which Gen.
Jackson was advocated for Congress.
Without saying a word in disparagement
of any of the gentlemen whose names
have been mentioned in this connection,
it is altogether safe to say that no more
suitable selection could be made. Gen.
Jackson could better now, than at any
other period of his life, give his time
to public servic; he is amply able to
afford it. Ido not believe that iie wishes
the office, and I am sure that he would
not seek it under any circumstances, but
that he would serve the people of this dis
trict as their representative in Congress,
if they expressed a desire for him to do so,
is, I think, equally certain. Gen. Jackson
has never shrank from any public duty
which has been required of him. Upon
the battle plains of Mexico; as Judge of
the Superior Court of the Eastern Circuit;
as Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Court of Austria; as a sol
dier in the Confederate Army;
and of late years, as President of the
Georgia Historical Society, and even of
Savannah’s little Sesqui-Centennial, he
has been true and faitbftil to every trust.
Nothing that he has ever touched—no
undertaking in which he has ever em
barked—has failed of success. Indeed,
his zeal and fidelity in any cause would
necessarily insure success. But it is
needless to multiply words.
The country counties in the district
would, I believe, be willing to support a
man like Gen. Jackson; in other words,
they would yield any personal preferences
they might have in order to get such a
man in Congress from the district. Will
not Chatham then support him? Will
not Chatham send a delegation to the ap
proaching convention instructed to cast
their votes for, and, if possible, to secure
the nomination of Henry R. Jackson?
Let us do this. Let us stand squarely and
openly for him, who would represent the
district with credit to himself and to us.

What Do You Think He Thunk?
“What do I think who thunk?” Why,
the thinking reflecting man, to be sure.
He dropped into a certain establishment,
and seating himself in a cool spot, the fol
lowing thoughts were evolved: That there
are lots of business houses in the land
that now and then blazen the walls and
the newspaper columns with promises of
extraordinary reductions in prices. When
you call—the reply is—“We have just
closed out that lot,” or else will show you
some cheap trumpery or other and en
deavor in a very unbiblical spirit to “take
you in.” Simon Mitchell has made some
wonderful reductions in prices of his fine
clothing, but is confident enough to say
to you not to take his word for it, hut come
and see for yourself. He has a few more
fine Dress and Business Suits than he
cares to “carry over,” therefore he is going
to sell them. Also a large line of Seer
sucker Suits for the hot weather. Mitchell
is in dead earnest, and if you need any
thing from clothing to a hat or collar, a
big saving is in store for you. Everything
represented squarely. “No satisfaction,
no pay.”

thought, and he thought right. Sign of
