Herviaut, ol Du Pont, one of the most noteworthy women in the South.

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.

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. ENCAMPMENT OF THE I. O. O. F.

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.

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.

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.

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, and to-night Issued an order to all the Knights of Labor in the em ploy of tbe Union Pacific and its branches and the South west system, or any other railroad, that they must refuse to repair or handle in any manner W abash rolling stock until further orders fconi the general executive board, "and if this order is antagonized by the company through any of its officials your executive committee is hereby or dered to call out all Knights ot Labor on the above system without further action. a little too soon. It was tbe intention ol tne board to issue this order before the one sent over tha Wabash road, as tbe actual weakness of tbe knights on that road was known to the executive committee, and tnere was good reason to believe that the effort of to-day would be unsuccessful, but for some unexplained cause it was held back. The order was. however, tele graphed all over tbe specified roads this evening, and assembly meetings were called at every point to receive it. NO VIOLENCE. Dispatches from Council Bluffs, la., Andrews, Ind., Decatur, 111., and In fact from all the shop points on tbe Wabash road, except Stan berry, Mo., received by the officials and by tbe press here are to the effeot that tbe men remained at work to-day, and that no demonstration was anywhere made.
