2 BUNKER HILL'S SHADOW. BOSTON’S ROYAL WELCOME TO THE BOYS IN GRAY. Hearty and Spontaneous Ovation Tendered the Robert E. Lee Camp No. 1 The Bostonese Take Full Chargro of the Gallant Virginians and 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 sisting of 150 men, headed by the First regi ment drum, life and bugle corps, formed in r jk araont street, opposite the Tremont House, and. taking the members of the R.

Commercial street and Atlantic avenue to the city’s wharf, whence the steamer J. Putnam Bradley w as taken for an excursion down the harbor. All along the route of the inarch there were' immense crowds of jieople and the veterans were enthusiastically cheered, especially in the market, where the occupants made the whole edifice resound with their applause. Tie- party returned to the city soon after 0 o'clock and marched directly to tho Tremont House, where supper was served. In the evening the Lee Camp boys, under”the escort of Post 159. witnessed the performance of “Evangeline” at the Tremont Street Theatre. A NEW RAILROAD. The Rosy View Pictured by a Florida 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 from the flung**. Noth withstanding the crew’s endeavor to stop the leak occasioned thereby, the water continued to gain on them and it was found necessary for the 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 was abandoned she was sinking fast. During the night the two boats were separated. The mate’s boat with hor crew arrived off Pensacola this morning, when she was towed in by the steam tug. bate in the day the Captain’s boat nnd his men also arrived in port all well, but thoroughly exhausted. Otherwise none of thorn were the worse for their exposure and hardships. The steamship Vidette was a vessel six years old and of about 811* tons, ami was owned in Boston, Mass. ,Slie was valued at 800, 000. ON THF TURF. The Prospect Park Events-Climax Wins the First Race.

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 having had charge for six years of the American Episcopal church** on the conti nent of Europe, under an apjxilntmont by tin- presiding Bishop., H<- made extensive and repeated visitations to these parishes, and, in addition to sermons published abroad, lie embodied the results of hix in vestigations in u published uildress, entitled, “A Glimpse at tho Religious Asjiects of Europe," In 1862 the Bishoji received the degree of LL. D. from Union College, hav | ing previously, in the year 1854. been made ‘ a memlier ol the American iriiiiosojihical 1 ti -eh ty. 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 ter. 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.” GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. The survey of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad by Lawrenceville has been completed, and the reports of the engineers forwarded to headquarters. At a recent meeting of the stockholders of the South Georgiu and Florida railroad company, Mr. R. 8. Collins was elected sec retary, and Messrs. S. T. Coleman and F. S. Johnson directors.

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.

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.
