Show Them the "Sights."
Boston, June 16.—The Robert E. Lee
Camp No. 1, Confederate Veterans, of Rich
mond, Va., arrived in Boston this morning
at 9 o'clock. They are the guests of Post
No. 15, Grand -\rniy of the Republic. They
were met at Fall River this morning by a
delegation from Post No. 15, and upon their
amvai in Boston a procession was formed,
consisting of the First regiment of infantry,
the National Lanciers, Post No. 2, Grand
Army of the Republic, and Post No 15,
Grand Army of the Reonblic. The “boys
in piny" received an ovatiin throughout the
entire line of march, the enthusiasm of their
greeting being warm. The
dense crowd jammed the sidewalks along
the entire route, and through the squares
the number of people was so great as to
interfere with the march. All along the
line the visitors were received with cheers
and hand-clapping, and no visiting organi
zation has ever been accorded such a recep
tion since the Bunker Hill centennial, when
the Norfolk regiment was so royally enter
tained. The procession, as it passed through
School street, was reviewed by Mayor
O'Brien at City Hall, and then passed
through Beacon street, liefore the State
house, where it was reviewed by Gov. Ames
and the members (if his staff. The column
then marched to Tremont. House, whore it
was dismissed. Another procession will be
formed this afternoon, when the guests will
be taken on an excursion in Boston harbor.
THE VETERANS IN GOOD HANDS.
At about 1 :30 this afternoon Post 15, con

A NEW RAILROAD.

Writer of Its Possibilities.
Cedar Fys, Fla., June 16.—The Legis
lature of l- i<yifla at its last session granted a
charter for AeJSuwannee and Gulf railroad,
to be built from Cedar Keys to Branford.
Fla., a distance of sixty miles. The zealous
and untiring secretary of the company is
now making a personal inspection of the
route, and reports that there is less waste
lands and more good lands on the
line than on any line of road in
the South, in proportion to its length.
He finds the ix-ople all very anxious
to have the road built and he lias secured
the nei-emary right of way for almost the
entire route. The donations in aid of the
enterprise, consisting of lands, town lots,
wat -r fronts, river mints and facilities ar *
worth hundred-, of thousands of dollars to
the road when built, and the country is
sufficiently settled now to guarantee the
prosperity of the line. This road will pour
into Savannah, over the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway from Branford, all
the produce of the entire west coast of
Florida, and the very rich and rapidly
growing section located in the western sec
tions or the counties of Levy, Alachua,
Lafayette and Suwannee.
A PRODUCTIVE COUNTRY.
The line will furnish transpoi-tation for
one of the fluent v egetable and cotton sec
tions of Florida, and the only peach coun
try in the State. The yield of jieaches is
enormous, aud the quality unsurpassed. The
jiearlies in this section ripen about five
weeks in advance of the North Georgia
peach. In Levy county the road will cross
the extensive and rich iron ore deposit about
which so much has been written and w hich
only needs this road to develop it into the
richest iron business of the South.
It is estimated that more than
2,000,000,000 feet of virgin yel
low pine timber is within easy ’ac
cess of the lino, and so far, not a tree %as
been cut except for fence rail-. The timber
is large and of heavy growth. Many hun
dnsLs of families have signified their inten
tion of locating in this beautiful, high,
healthy and very productive section as soon
as the road is under way. Not less than
ten towns will be built on the line. The
company (Mr. J. O. Andrews, Secretary),
feels confident of securing the necessary
capital to build the road during the present
year. The company has its offices at Cedar
fcey, Fla.
LOSS OF THE VIDETTE.
Bhe Sinks Monday Off Pensacola—
Crew and Officers Saved.
Pensacola, Fla., June 10.—Kirk Bryant,
the first mate of the American steamship
Viilette, of Boston, Muss., with seven of the
vessel’! crew, arrived here this morning in
an open boat, in tow of the steam tug E. E.
Simpson. The steamship Vidette suiled
from New York on June 'l, with a miscella
neous cargo of merchandise, bound to Mobile,
Ala. When about flO to 100 miles southeast
of Sand Lsland light, at 1:30 p. in. on June
13, the out-board discharge pipe separated

safety of the lives of the men to abandon
the vessel.. The crew, which consisted of
neventoeu men all told, divided, the Captain,
Edward Kelly, witli eight men, taking to
one boat, unit the llrst mate, with seven
men, taking to another. When the vessel

During the night the two boats were
separated. The mate’s boat with hor crew

BISHOP STEVEN3.
A Brief Sketch of HLs Career, Particu
larly That Part of It Connected With
Georgia.
The Morning News has already pub
lished some of the facts relating to the ca
reer of the Right Rev. William Bacon
Stevens, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
church for the diocese of Pennsylvania,
whose death was announced in the Morn
ing News last Sunday morning. The fol
lowing facts relate more particularly to his
residence in Georgia:
William Bacon Stevens was the youngest
and only surviving son of Williain'and Re
becca (Bacon) Stevens, and was born at
Bath. Me. : July 19, 1615. His father was
on officer in Uie United States army during
the war of I*l2. He passed bis early life in
Boston, the home of his maternal and pater
nal ancestry. His preparations for college
and the ministry to which he had devoted
his life were interrupted by ill health, and
on the assurance of ' his physicians
that pulmonary difficulties ' would
prevent his entrance upon
his chosen lite work, lie left Phillips Acad
emy, at Andover, and turned his attention
to the study of medicine. At the age of Is
he sailed on an extended voyage for the re
establishment of his 1 althand was absent
from home for ■ years, having in
that period circumnavigated the globe. On
his return to this country he went to Kavun
nah, Ga., where ho studied under Dr.
Edward Copjiee, and to Charleston, where
he continued his studies Samuel
Henry Dickson, M. D. In the fall of 1667
he was graduated a Doctor in Medicine at
Dartmouth College, and in the following
year received an a d eundem. doctorate
from the Medical College of the
State of South Cnrolina, where he
had also been a student. Returning to
Savannah, he entered upon the practice of
his profession with distinguished success,
finding time, in connection with abundant
labors, for an active participation in the
various literary, benevolent ana social efforts
of the day. Dr. Stevens also took a promi
nent part in the organization of the Histori
cal Society of the State, He wrote an ex
haustive treatise on the “History of the Sil\
Culture in Georgia,” contributed as an ap
pendix to Harris’ “Memorials of Ogle
thorpe,” and two volumes of historical col
lections, of which he was the editor and an
notator. It was by the appointment of the
Historical Society of Georgia, with the ap
probation of the Governor, that Dr. Stevens
was designated as the historian of the State.
a candidate for holy orders.
The early purpose of his life, however,
had not been forgotten, and with a com
plete recovery of health came the desire to
enter upon the sacred ministry. Relin
quishing a large and remunerative income,
he pursued the usual theological studies under
the direction of his personal friend, the first
Bishop of Georgia, Stephen Elliott, I). D.,
by whom he was ordained Deacon in Christ
church, Savannah, Feb. 28, 1843, and to the
priesthood in the same church Jan. 7, 1844.
Almost immediately upon his ordinrtkm he
was chosen to fill the chair of Belles-Lettres,
Oratory and Moral Philosophy in
-the "University of Georgia, at
Athens, where he also assumed the
charge of an Episcopal mission, which
speedily developed into a flourishing parish,
that of Emmanuel church. In 1847 his first
volume of the “History of Georgia” ap
lieartd and elicited the special cominenda
of Bancroft, Sparks and Everett, and placed
the writer in the forefront of State histor
ians. In the same year he was a deputy to
the General Convention from the diocese of
Georgia. The following year Dr. Stevens
yielded to repeated invitations to remove to
Philadelphia to fill the rectorship of St. An
drew’s church, and in the same year (1848)
the Univei-sity of Pennsylvania conferred
upon him the Doctorate in Divinity.
RECTOR OK ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH
While at St. Andrew’s church his minis
try was distinguished by the marked de
velopment of the lilierallty of ail attached
people and by the evident prosjx-rity of the
parish under his charge. In the midst of
engrossing pastoral duties he found time to
prepare and publish a large number of
occasional sermons, as well as some im
portant volumes of a religious character.
The concluding volume of the “History of
Georgia,” the publication of which had been
hindered by his removal from his adopted
State, was published in 1859. Among the
religious works which he published while
rector at St. Andrew’s were: "The Bow in
the Cloud” and “The Parables Practically
Unfolded.” Dr. Stevens was chosen to
preside over the convention in 1656 which
elected Bishop Bowman to be the assistant
Bishop of the diocese.
ELECTED ASSISTANT BISHOP.
On Oct. 24, 1681, at a special convention
which met at St. Andrew’s church, he was
elected Assistant Bishop of tho diocese of
Pennsylvania. The time of his election
was one of groat jxilitical excitement on
account of the outbreak of the civil war,
and also of ecclesiastical excitement occa
sioned by State's right doctrine, which cul
minated in the Southern dioceses seceding
from tho control of the general convention.
Dr. Stevens had been spoken of before the
meeting of the convention, and as
then* was a probability that an ob
jection might be made on the ground of
former Southern associations a declara
tion was secured from him efti the subject
which at once settled all qinwtkm. An inter
esting incident in connection with this con
vention was the fact that during the ballot
ing Dr. Stevens and the Rev. Dr. Howe
drew lots which should withdraw. The lot
fell ujxin Dr. llowe, who at once withdrew
his name, and on the next ballot, the thir
teenth, Dr. Stevens was chosen, receiving
65 votes to 50 cast for the iiev. Dr. Leeds,
then rector of St. Pctefl|i
Tho Assistant Bishop-elect was consecrated
on Jan. 2, 1882. The services were held at
St. Andrew’s church, the sermon being
preached by the Rt. Rev. Thomas March
(dark, D. I)., Bishop of* Rhode Island, and
I)r. Stevens’ predecessor in the rectorship of
St. Andrew's. He was presented to the
Presiding Bishop, Rt. Rev. Dr. John Henry
llonkius, by the Bishops of Pennsylvania
and New York, Alonzo and Horatio Potter,
and the foregoing Bishops, together with the
Bishops of Delaware, lowa and Now Jersey,
joined in the imposition of hands.
BISHOP OF PENNSYLVANIA.
On March 2, 1805, Bishop Potter being
obliged by ill-healtb to take a long voyuge,
the full ecclesiastical authority of the
diocese developed iijkiii the Assistant Bishop.
Four mouths later Bishoji Potter died 011
board the steunmhiji Colorado in the harbor
of San Francisco, and the Assistant. Bishop
became the Bishoji of Pennsylvania. In
October of the same year before tho general
convention Bishop Stevens delivered a dis
course commemorative of the life
and work of his predecessor. On
Nov. 15. 1865, he assisted at the
organization of the new Diocese of Pitts
burg, and in Jannury, 1806, he assisted at
the consecration of the new Bishop, Rev.
John Barrett Kerfoot, D. I)., lint was taken
ill and obliged to retire from active work
for nearly fifteen months, which were sjxmt
abroad, mostly in France and Italy.
tic resumed las work in Philadelphia on
Muy 28, 1807, and, some time after his re
turn, the new Diocese of Central Pennsyl
vania was organized in Harrisburg, Nov.
3, 1871. Bislioji Stevens presided over its
flint convention, at which was elected as its
first Bishop the Rev. M. A. Do Wolf Howe,
D. D., then rector of Ht. Luke’s church, in
Philadelphia. ’
Bishop -Stevens, in tho midst of the duties
of ids high office, found time to publish a
number of charges to his clergy, ix-sides

and repeated visitations to these parishes,

TIIE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1887.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN THE EPISCOPATE.
On Jan. 8. 1*67, Bishop Stevens celebrated
the twenty-fifta anniversary of liis couse
eration. a ’spe-ia! service being held in St.
Andrew’s church. There was a solemn cele
bration of the Holy Communion, at which
Bishop Whitaker officiated, assisted by a
number of the leading clergymen of the
diocese. On that occasion Bishop Stevens
delivered a commemorative discourse, in
which he reviewed the wants of the past
quarter of a century.
CHARACTERISTICS.
Industry was a marked feature of the
Bishop’s character. He was never idle as
long as lie could move, and he often under
took work for which he was physically in
capacitated. It was frequently remarked
that he might have prolonged his life had
he been willing to relinquish some of tin
cares and duties of his high office. There
were few men who could post themselves so
thoroughly and so quickly as he could,whan
he was called upon to preach a sermon oil
some special subject, and his commemora
tive and historical addresses were always
noted for their thoroughness and for their
comprehensive character.
Bishop Stevens was married in Georgia
to Miss Coppee, daughter of Dr. Edward
Coppee, and she dying in Philadelphia dur
ing his rectorship of St. Andrews, he, in
1889, married Miss Conyngham, a daughter
of Judge John N. Conyngham, of Wilkes
barre. By the first marriage there were
throe children—William, who married a
daughter of the Bishop of Arkansas, and
two daughters, one of whom was the wife
of the Rev. H. C. Mayer, and the other is
the widow of the lute E. Coppee Mitchell,
of Philadelphia. By the second marriage
there are two children, a son and a daugh

RLAINE OR FORAKER.
Ohio Republicans Arranging to Defeat
Senator Sherman.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
“Are you going to dispose of the Times-
StarV' was the question projxmnded to Mr.
Charles P. Taft yesterday morning. Mr.
Taft appeared wearied, as though he had
been undergoing some great mental strain.
He was not in the best of humor, either,
and the question, simple though it may ap
pear, had the effect of lighting up his face
with a gleam—not one of satisfaction nor
yet one of pleasure.
The query was brought about by a polit
ical telegram recently appearing in the New
York Sun. That telegram at some length
detailed a scheme winch was intended to
defeat Senator Sherman for the Republican
nomination for President in 1888. There
could lx- no misunderstanding it. Although
Gov. Foraker has always expressed
the utmost friendship for Ohio’s junior
Senator that telegram only too
plainly showed that the Senator would be
again treated to a dish of cold shoulder—be
given a repetition of what has now become
to him the old, 01l story. The newspaper
article referred to explained how this was to
be done. The writer showed the most per -
feet knowledge of the subject, and had it
not been signed bv Mr. F. B. Gessner, po
litical and general correspondent and warm
PERSONAL FRIEND
of Gov. Foraker, (those posted would have
readily been able to have traced it to some
person very close to Ohio’s Governor. Mr.
Gessner, in his telegram to the Sun, stated
that the Ohio delegation to the next National
Republican Convention would be—the
greater part—for James G. Blaine or for
Gov. Foraker for President. He also made
most prominent the fact that HamiJton
county would lie against Sherman, airrt suited
that the great moguls of the party in this
county were bitterly opposed to Sherman,
and would lie heart and soul, hand in
glove with Blaine, or, if found that Blaine
could not win, with Foraker. To more
forcibly illustrate this point it was given
out that Mr. George B. Cox, the Republican
leader, was mi enthusiastic Blaine man, ami
would do all in his power to send a Blaine
delegation to the convention. The strangest
thing of all, however, was that a prominent
newspaper, which had all along b-en adyed
in-the-wool Sherman Republican organ,
would lie purchased, and in future conducted
as a straight-out Blaine paper. It was also
stated that Senator Sherman’s friends had
endeavored to
PURCHASE THE NEWSPAPER
in question, but would not be permitted to
get possession of its stock. It was supposed
by some who read the article that the Timex-
Star was the newspaper which was to
change its adherence to Senator Sherman
and go forward carrying the Blain** banner.
For this reason a reporter sought Mr. Taft,
one of the heaviest stockholders in that
paper, and practically the dictator of its
policy.
The Timex-Star has been probably one of
the most pronounced Sherman boomers in
the State. Mr. Taft had, no doubt, met
with the same question during the day. In
answer lie stated most positively that the
TV mex-Star was not for sale. Then his at
ktention was called to the article. His brow
knit, and in language that could not but
carry conviction with it, hp said:
•“fhe Ti mes-Star is not for sale. It is a
Sherman paper—heart and soul for Sherman
for the Presidency. He will have a solid
delegation in the convention from Ohio.”
loiter in the day the paper appeared upon
the streets. Its leading editorial was a
double-leaded indorsement of Sherman.
This reiteration of former statements was
no doubt, due to the talk which had followed
the publication of the attempt which is to
be made to down Sherman. It was also
learned that the paper which was about to
be purchased was, instead of the Ti mes-Star,
the Ohio State Journal, published at Co
lumbus.
The telegram created no end of comment
in political circles yesterday, and it will
create trouble in Republican ranks. It was
looked upon as a clear aud succinct state
ment, under <s>ver, of
GOVERNOR FOIIAKER’S VIEWS
and ambitions and was widely discussed.
The Governor has made many a funny
break, but in this instance it would appear
that he had overleaped himself. The bond
of union between Governor Foraker and
Mr. Gessner is well known to politicians,
and it is generally thought that the tele
gram was simply an expression of the Gov
ernor's views and ideas, and was sent by the
correspondent, there being no idea that the
writer would lie made known. The ./illusion
to the defeat, as a delegate, of Congressman
Butterwortli by Policy Bill Smith, and the
use of money by the wily Ben, was a sore
point. It has always been 14111 st vehemently
denied that any money was used at that
time in Sjierman’s intei ~t. But here comes
forward a delegate to the convention at
which it was claimed tho wealth was thrown
out and says that money was used, and that
plentifully.
The snip was given away, aud politicians
look for Gov. Foraker to attempt the Gar
field racket. While pretending to lie for
Blaine lie is for Foraker and Foraker alone.
111 the language of a well-known Republi
can, who was discussing the matter ut the
St. Nicholas yesterday afternoon:
“Gov. Foraker exjieets to go to the con
vention announcing himself for Blaine, lie
will be for Blaine outwardly, but there can
be no doubt but that lie expects his name to
bo taken up, and that lie will go through
with a hurrah as the Republican nominee
for President.”
“Does that appear to bo
THE GENERAL OPINION
among leading Republicans?” asked 11 re
porter who happened to Is- present.
“Why, yes. It has boon so understood for
sometime. You see the laughable |iurt of
this whole matter is that, the boom was to
lie worked uy quietly. Blaine was to be
supported up ton certain point by Fornker’s
friends. He is to lx- prevented from receiv
ing the nomination, however. Then, as a
last, resort, Foraker is to lie taken up and
nominated. If that scheme fails by com
bining, Foraker may be able to secure the
nomination for second place. It was never
thought the correspondent's name would bo
signed to that telegram, but the New York
Sun people did-so, and in this manner the
scheme was given away. Guv. Fomkor’s
hand nun lx* *.-011 all through the telegram.
It was a neat trick, but I think has fallen
short.”
“Do yon think the Timex-Star Ls the pa
ger which is to bo purchased and run in
iaine's interest?” asked the reporter.
"Tliat I am unableto 'ay The Timex-Star
has of late come out pluin and straightfor
ward in its columns. I hardly think it is ]
the pajier referred to.”
“What do you think of the allusion to Mr.
Smith, Ben fiutterworth and others?”
“That was done for the purpose of creat
ing dissensions. Smith has always bevn a
Sherman man. If the old quarrel between
him and Butterwortli can lie brought up
again, Ben will be for any person to down
.Smith. See the point? The"same is true in
regard to other persons mentioned.”
"That iiart of the dispatch should be
quoted, it is the expression of a Republi
can in Cincinnati, and I intended to credit
him with it.”
“Now, Mr. Gessner. we don’t want your
views on national politic*. How about
those letters written by Sherman to promi
nent Republicans?”
“That news was published in the Post, of
this city, the day my dispatch was written,
so Ido not give it originally. It was told
that paper by a man in high official stand
ing, and in so doing he violated the confi
dence of a friend. But it is true, and I have
no respect for those people who betrayed
Sherman by passing his letters around. The
reaction in this matter is bound to be favora
ble to Sherman, and it is well for him that
he finds out just what his enemies in Ohio
are doing in time to thwart them.”
Mr. Gessner was seen last evening by a
reporter in regard to the telegram which
bore his name, and which is supposed to
have been written in the interest of Gov.
Finker’s candidacy for President.
“The article in the Sun," he said, “was
written by me, and I signed my name to it.
In five veers _of newspaper work I have
never been ashamed to sign my name to any
article which I have written for any paper,
and I never will lie. There is nothing in the
dispatch which cannot lie proved and which
is not known by many Republicans besides
myself in Ohio.”
"But, Mr. Gessner, had you any personal
motive in such correspondence?”
“None at all. lam for John Sherman as
honestly as any of his Ixist friends, but I do
not seek to advance him by abasing others.
When I was a candidate for Representative
in this comity two years ago I was pledged to
•ftpport Sherman for Senator. This fact
alone prevented my success. A Democrat
who has Republican affiliations offered to
secure my nomination if I would
pledge myself in writing or
verbally before three witnesses
to vote for Charles Foster and lead a bolt
against Sherman if elected. This I refasod.
and was threatened at once with defeat, and
I missed the nomination by a few votes.
.Since that time I have been as consistently
for Sherman as I was then. There
was too much truth in that dispatch for
some people. The traitors who pretend to
lx? for Sherman but are not are the ones
who are hurt the most They are now
seeking an opportunity to square them
selves. I don’t think any man can question
my honest desire to see the Ohio delegation
solid for John Sherman. While I have
failed to find the South and other sections
where I have been very enthusiastic for
him, I atn certain that he is stronger at
home than ever before—that is, with the
jieople who do the voting—perhaps not with
the politicians.”
“But in the disjiatch you say that he can
not carry a third of the delegates?”
“Gessner, isn't it a fact that you are for
Blaine?”
“Personally I would prefer him, but my
information nas been that he will not be a
candidate.”
“Own up. Is it not tine that the enemies of
Sherman in Ohio are to concentrate on For
aker and give him the second place with
Blaine?”
“Gov. Foraker I know would not take the
second place, and is neither a candidate for
President, Vice President, nor United States
Senator. He will probably be a candidate
for Governor of Ohio again this fall. It will
be time enough to talk about a President a
year lienee. If Republicans who are fass
ing about 1886 would pay more attention to
1887 and the State ticket" we would succeed
easier.”
“Did Gov. Foraker have anything to do
with this telegram?
“No; I have not seen him for weeks. H
has never talked about the Presidency to
me, save to remark once when someone re
ferred to his chances: ‘We are not electing
a President this year, and I am not a candi
date.' 1% fai t, while I do not have the great
and unbounded confidential relations with
the Governor that you infer, I do know that
he is honestly a supporter of Sherman. This
I know from some recent correspondence
which passed between them, which I think
fully establishes the most cordial under
standing between them. Besides, the Gov
ernor has interested himself in securing to
Sherman’s sujiport the influence of a lead
ing New York jxilitician of national rejiu
te'ion. No, the jKqx-r referred to was
neither the Titnex-S'ar nor Ohio State
Journal. It was not a paper of near so
much prominence, and is hardly worth ad
vertising further.”

A Railroad’s Collapse.
The surveying instruments and eamp
equtjiago of the South Atlantic and North
western Railroad Company have been sold
under execution by the Sheriff of Bruns
wick county, N. C., to satisfy claims for
supplies furnished to engineers and survey
ors by parties in that county. It is thought
that this puts an end to the road for tnjit
county ut least. The plan of the road was
ambitious. It was to extend from South
Port on the Atlantic const in Brunswick
county, to Bristol, Tenn., and extend
turough over twenty counties in that State.
There has for many mouths been a great
d"al of talk about the rood, and several
counties have voted large subscriptions to
it, while others have refused to do so.
