Du Pont, Ga., Aug. 18.—A telegram
was received here this morning from At.
lanta announcing the death of Mrs. Eliza
G. Herviaut, ol Du Pont, one of the most
noteworthy women in the South. She was
a first-honor graduate of one ol our lead
ing colleges, and was most singularly
gifted, combining the highest order of lite
rary attainments with the finest business
acumen. She was consulted in her county
ou all subjects, trom law to agriculture,
and often in sickness prescribed for the
most difficult cases successfully. She
was a devout Christian, having been a
member of the Methodist church .V) years.
A SISTER OF CONGRESSMAN NICHOLLB.
She was a daughter of S. W. Nicholls,

in Georgia. There is hardly a land title In
Clinch or Echols counties that was not
gi anted by the Stale to him. She is a sis
ter to Congressman J. C. Nicholls. Her
first husband,Capt. I)u Pont,died early In

Gen. Count Du Pont and Marshal Lefe
bre, Duke of Dantzic. At the close of

the widows of Confederate soldiers, and
by closo business management accumu
lated quite a property. It was said that
she whs one among the most fluent con
versationalists In America. Her attain
ments were ol such an order that she
would have adorned the most brilliant so.

living quietly at her home at Du Pont, de
voting her life to her children, who seemed
her only thought and to whom she
finished educations. Thje people of Clinch

universally loved tor her generosity and
good heart. Bbe will be hurled from

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1885.
MAXWELL IDENTIFIED.
HIS NAME SHOWN TO BE BROOKS
IN A LETTER FROM ENGLAND.
Tho Mother Country I,oft for a Lark with
a Curate as a Companion—The Pris
oner Claims that Broiler I>ld from
Heart Disease Superinduced l>y an
Overdose of Chloroform.
St. Louis, Aug. 18.—A letter is pub
lished here to-day dated Sunny Bank,
Hyde, Cheshire, Eng., July 18, 1885, aud
signed Samuel N. Brooks, in which the
writer says that his son, H. M. Brooks,
left home last January on a business trip
to Ireland, aud that no word has been re
ceived from him since.
HIS COMPANION A CURATE.
It had been learned, however, that he
had the curate of an adjoining parish for
a companion, and that they had indulged
in various extravagancies, and that
Brooks’ name had got mixed up with the
St. Louis trunk tragedy, and also got
mixed with that of Dr. Maxwell’s. The
letter shows great distress on the part of
the writer, who makes an urgent appeal
for information in regard to the person
concerned in the murder.
THE WRITER MAXWELL’S FATHER.
Part of this letter was shown to Max
well, and he recognized the signature as
that ot his father, and desired possession
of the letter. lie said that he would write
to his father, aud tell him that he (Max
well) was innocent of the murder of
Preller, and that he had a perfectly good
defense.
BROOKS’ DEFENSE.
In the course of the conversation Max
well, or, as he Is now prettv definitely
identified, Brooks, said that Preller was
troubled with insomnia, and that he had
prescribed chloroform for him on several
occasions and with benefit. Preller, how
ever, had heart disease, he said, and in
timated that he had either taken or was
given an overdose on this occasion with
fatal result. This will be Brooks’ de
fense when his case comes to trial.
MAXWELL’S DENIAL.
Maxwell published a card this after
noon denying that he has given any re
porter any outline or idea of his defense
as published here this morning and
already referred to in tills dispatch. He
furthermore denies haring acknowledged
that his name is Brooks, and says that
no matter what is published he will not
talk about his case or give any one any
idea what his defense will be. The letter
previously referred to, signed Samuel N.
Brooks, is genuine however. It was re
ceived here by John D.Vincel, high officer.

A few weeks ago a Piute Indian was

TO CUT ACROSS NOVA SCOTIA.
A Ship Canal Project that Greatly Inter
est* the People Down East.
Bangor, Aug. 18,—A ship railroad pro
ject of great interest is absorbing the at
tention of men away down East, though
little is heard of it in the United States.
The scheme is intended to revolutionize
the coasting traffic of the maritime prov
inces and develop the resources of the
north shore ol New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island. TUe railway Is designed
to connect Cumberland Basin, at the head
of the Bay of Funday, with Bay Verte, an
arm of Cumberland strait. Gulf of St.
I.awreuce. The isthmus which it is to
suan lies between Westmoreland oounty.
New Brunswick, ami Cumberland
oounty, Nqva Scotia, and in the boundary
between these two provinces.
The isthmus is only about a dozen miles
wide, and if, as is asserted, It is practi
cable to transport venae's over it, a sav
ing of over 300 miles can be effected In
the voyave from the north shore or Prinoe
Edward Island to Boston or other United
States ports. By the natural route ves
sels from the Gulf of Si. Lawrence are
obliged to make a circuit of Nova Scotia,
which is a great obstacle, not only by
reason of the distance, hut on account of
the dangers of navigation along its rocky
coast.
Work has already been begun on the
railway, and good progress is being made,
the ohief engineer being John Fowler,
who constructed the underground rail
way In London, and Is now engaged on
the long bridge over the Firth of Forth.
Lord Brabourne, of England, is President
of tbe company engaged in the work. A
London syndicate has signed a contract
to furnish the money required.
When that ship railway is completed it
will, if successful, wipe out the free trade
party here. Lumber is so cheap now that
the Penobscot mills are shutting down;
produce is so cheap that the farmers
growl, and fish so plenty and cheap that
quotations are at bed rock.
WHISKY’S TRICKY UARREL9.
Two Companies Agree to Bay a Tax on
83 Extra Gallons In tho 100 Barrels,
Philadelphia, Aug. 18.—In regard to
the recent seizure of a large quantity of
whisky shipped to this city irom Peoria,
111., which was alleged to have been put
into fraudulently constructed barrels
with an intention of defraud
ing the government, it is learned
that an order was received in
this city from Washington, ordering the
release of all the whisky consigned by
Woolner Bros., and aiso that tbe consign
ments of the Manhattan Distillery Com
pany had been released by a compromise,
whereby the distillery company are to pay
a tax on one gallon ol whisky each in 83
barrels out of every 100 shipped by them,
with the understanding that they would
file a claim in the United States courts to
recover tbe extra tax so paid.
DETAINED SHIPMENTS.
The shipments of the Great Western
Distillery Company and Zell, Swalbacner
& Cos. are still detained pending an in
vestigation by the revenue officials. It is
understood that upwards of 4,000 barrel*
ot whisky will be affected by the action of
the government, and it is thought that
the entire matter will be compromised,
and then taken into the courts. Tbe
wholesale liquor men of Philadelphia,
representing capital of $20,000,000, have
addressed a letter to the Revenue Collec
tor of this district concerning the alleged
fraudulently constructed barrels, claim
ing that the packages are regularly made
and informing him that unless they are
permitted to pursue their business with
out furthei interruption they will Bring
action against the government for dam
ages sustained.
TRAMPS CATCH A TARTAR.
A Farmer They Would Have Murdered
Olvm Thfin 100 Lbi Each.
CrawfObsdvrle, IND.,Aug. 18.—The
residence of Noah LockahilL, on a farm
uear Brown’s Valley, was entered by
tramps Sunday nigbt. Mr. Lock&bill was
awakened by the noise, sprang from bis
bed aud closed with one in the room. Tho
burglar was reinforced by two others,
Lockabill is a powerful man and flung the
captured burglar against the two others
in such a manner as to bring the three to
the floor.
LAID OUT WITH A CLUB.
Then he went at them with a club. His
wife brought a clothes line, and together
they tiound the tramps, sat down and
waited for them to recover. When the
tramps regained consciousness Lockabill
asked them which they preferred, to be
taken to Crawfordsvllle and be placed in
jail, where they stood a obance of several
years in the penitentiary, or to be led out
one at a time and reoeive such a whipping
as be would administer.
EACH GIVEN 100 LASHES.
They chose the latter, and the farmer
took them out severally, tied them to a
gatepost, and administered 100 lashes to
each tramp with a large, new, rawhide
wagon whip. Each stroke of the whip
raised a huge welt on tbe back of tbe
tramp, and when the operation was com
pleted a pool of blood could be seen where
they stood. Their piteous cries for morev
called In neighbors until quite a little
crowd bud assembled to witness tbe casti
gation of tramp number three. As all
sympathized with the Irate farmer, tbe
performance went on until he had com
pleted the 100 lashes.

The oompany managed to send out a
few cars on each line, but by 7o’clock the
strikers began to interrupt travel by
throwing the cars from the track. The
polioe were called on, but the meagre
loioe was unable to give the necessary
protection, and stranded cars were to be
seen in all directions. Three or four ar
rests were made, aud each ruutiingcar
was guarded by police officers. Three of
the new drivers were assaulted.
CARS RUNNING IRREGULARLY.
At 1:30 o’clock this afternoon the cars
were running with some regularity, being
manned by new drivers, who were pro
tected by polioe. The striking drivers
held a meeting and a committee of five
men was appointed to confer with the
street railway company with a view of
compromising matiers aud restoring
waives to the old rates.
REFUSED TO TREAT.
The committee of conference of the
street car drivers to confer with the offi

were all withdrawn. Everything is quiet.
A RAILROAD STRIKE.
St. Louis, Aug. 18.—a meeting of the
executive board of the Knights of Labor,
and ot the committee representing the
lookod-out Knights of Labor employed on
the Gould Southwestern system, was held
this morning. A series of resolutions
was adopted denouncing the action of the
Wabash officials for attempting to break
up the Knights of Labor at)d for causing
the arrest of members of the organization
by United States Marshals, like common
felons. Congressman William Warner,
of Kansas City, Mo., ana
Gen. John M. Palmer, ot
Springfield,lll., were requested by resolu
tion to defend the imprisoned Knights, to
prosecute the AVabash railroad tor con
spiracy, and tomovefor the impeachment
of Judges Treat, Brewer and Krekel. T.
J. Russell, of the Gould system commit
tee, said that the Wabash order issued
yesterday was preliminary to a general
order, but declined to say when the gen
eral order would be Issued or to give an
idea of its extent. The committee are
awaiting information from the branch or
ganizations of the Knights of Labor
throughout the West before resorting to
extreme measures. It is probable that
an order calling out tbe men on the Gould
road will be issued shortly.
NO DANGER AT ST. LOUIS.
The Wabash road has only two very
small repair shops and a small round
house here, employing all told perhaps
fifty tueu. All these men remained at
work to-day, and there Is not likely to be
any trouble at this point. The general
exeoutlve committee of the Knights of
Labor were in session again this noon,
