Death OF Rev. DIR. Branch.

4 telegram was received in the city last
evening, announcing the death at Tampa,
Florida, of Rev. DR.. Franklin Branch, father
of Rev. j. G. Branch, pastor of Trinity Metho-
dist Church of this city. The telegram was
addressed to Rev. Mr.. Branch, who is absent
from the city in Florida, and was opened by
Rev. G. G. n. MacDonell. 1t was found to be
from a sister of Mr.. Branch, at Tampa,
Florida, and conveyed the informa-
iton above given. DR.. Branch was
over eighty years o. age, and the dispatch
stated he died very suddenly at two O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon, but gave no further
particulars. Rev. Mr.. Branch is on a visit
to Tallahassee, having left here last week,
aud anticipated visiting his parents while in
Florida. 1t would appear from the telegram
having been sent to Savannah, that he had
not yet reached Tampa. A dispatch was
sent to his sister last night notifying her
that he was in Tallahassee.

Injured by a Falling wall.

Yesterday morning about nine o'clock the
centre division wall of the burnt building
lately occupied by Messrs. 7. P. Bond 81 c.
fell in, burying beneath it a colored man
named Adam Gaines. There were three OF
four other men engaged in clearing away
the debris when the wall fell, but all escaped
except Gaines. As soon as his comrades
recovered from their decentralization they
set TO work and dug out the unfortunate
man, who was found to be badly cut about
the head and apparently injured internally.
He was removed to his home, In Indian
street lane. 1t was reported that several
others were buried beneath the walls, but
upon investigation it was found that the
catastrophe was confined only to one man,
as stated above.
At two O'Clock, Just as the workmen
were preparing to pull down the chimney OF
the front building, which was liable to tum-
BILE at any moment, another sensation oc-
Cured. The chimney suddenly toppled
over with a tremendous crash, carrying
with it a portion Of the roof. The
noise attracted quite crowd, which quick
Iy dispersed when it was ascertained that
there was no one hurt.

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
A Proposition for a Grand Encamp-
ment In the West.

Palestine Commandery No. z, Knights
Templar, of Savannah, may be interested In
knowing that Grand Encampment OF the
Knights Templsr of America in the West Is
now proposed, and something definite VIII
soon be decided on. II seems, says the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, that there is a grow
ing demand for the establishment OF per-
manent place Of meeting far removed from
all the influences of large cities. The order
wants great privacy, and must have exclu-
sive control of all the surroundings. The
proposition is to acquire territory enough to
accommodate the whole order, where the
members can go regularly into camp. and
parade aud drill. None but Knights Tenn
plar and their immediate families will be
allowed within the limits of the great camp.
One proposition advanced is to obtain a
tract OF land of 100, 900 acres in the heart
OF the Rocky Mountains, within ten or
twenty miles Of one of the Pacific railroads,
affording ample and exclusive camping
ground for all the State Grand Commando
ries.
Many say that the plan is worthy of con-
sideration, perfectly feasible, and can easily
be carried out. 1t is said that location
can be secured and the land obtained of the
government, hotel, temple and cottages
can be built, and a camp and parade ground
prepared. The Grand Secretary says that
it will cost great deal of money, but when
it is RENE mbered that there are $4,000 Tenn
plars in America, and the sum OF $40 each
makes half million, and that there are at
least 5000 who will cheerfully contribute
81 900 each, there seems to be no hesitation
In SAYING that the financial part OF the
scheme will be carried out in 1888. This is
a magic number in the mind Of every Tenn
plar, and inpumersble airy castles are
built upon it. For twelve years, at least,
the Grand Encampment has been
earnestly endeavoring to hold business
session. The Grand Master has issued his
orders time and again, requesting no parade
and no display The earnest thinkers and
true lovers of the order have fought, work.
ed and begged for hearing and considera-
ton of questions vital to its future, but 1t is
a very difficult matter to GIT consideration
of any question at the average triennial
conclave. If this proposition is carried out,
as It doubtless will be, it will result in the
greatest event ever known in the history Of
secret fraternities. The matter is now be-
ing agitated in some OF the jurisdictions,
and correspondence will shortly begin be-
tween all the Grand Communicates in
America.

Arrival Of New Rice.

The steamer David Clark, which arrived
from the Altsmahs late on Wednesday
night, brought among other freight 1900
bushels of new rice. or this 200 bushels
were from Champney Island, and were con-
signed to Capt. James II. Johnston, and
when pounded will produce prime sample.
Eleven hundred bushels were from Mr. Jas.
Walker, Of Darieu, and from his own crop
grown at Cat Head, on the Altsmaha river.
He came up on the steamer and sold the
lot to MessTs. K. Understands n d Co.
This rice will be put in the mill to-day
and will be ready to go on the market on
Saturday. In the last five years the earliest
arrival of new rice in this market was on
the 2Sth Of August, so that we are four days
earlier than for some years back.
The first lot of new Carolina rice was re-
ceived in Charleston on Wednesday from
the Bischoff plantation, and consisted Of
only one hundred and fifty bushels.

NAV 18th, 1882.

A similar score of 25 out of possible 25
was made several years ago by DR.. John d.
Martin, at the regular practice of the Savan-
nah Rife Association at the Hermitage.
We call the attention of our Charleston
contemporary to this, as we observe that
under the caption of Remarkable Rife
Score" the following statement is made in
its issue OF yes erday:
"In a practice shooting on Wednesday
afternoon Nr. J. H. Pieper, of the German
Artillery, made the brilliant and almost I'M
precedented score of 25 out of possible
25, at 200 hundred yards range, off-hand
shooting. The score was fully verified by
the telescope and by the marker. What IL
still more remarkable, every bulls eye was
a centre shot. Experienced shots state that
they have never seen this record equsled.'

Editor Morning NeaoS The remarks OF
the Macon Telegraph, synopsis Of which
was published In your issue of yesterday,
concerning the visit of the Colquitt Blues to
Macon, were uncalled for, unjust and I'M
founded. The writer of such a harsh criti-
cism should remember that the colored peo-
pie Of Savannah are equal in point Of intel
ligence and responsibility to those Of Ma
con, and our colored companies COM
pare faVorably with any in the State. The
Colquitt Blues have always borne them
selves as good soldiers and respectable men,
and our conduct and appearance in Macon
were the same as in Savannah, and the at
tempt to ridicule us was not what we ex-
pected. The Colquitt Blues do not think
the good people OF Macon indorse the criti-
cism that was passed upon us. Our record
in Savannah shows us to DE respectable
company, and we are satisfied to have the
good opinion of our people. Thanking you,
Mr.. Editor, for your kind comments upon
the matter, we feel that when Macon COM
pany visits us they will receive better treat
ment at your hands. j. II. CARTER,
First Lieut.. Comm'd'g COlquitt Blues.

Return of the Last of the Detach-

Col. Peter Reilly, Corporal P. J. O'Connor
and Private 1T. Mcmahon, the last Of the de-
tachment OF the Irish Jasper Greens, arrived
Yesterday by Central train. The two former
arrived in Macon on Saturday last, and by
special invitation of their Macon friends
accompanied the Southern Cadets and Floyd
Rifles on their excursion on last Monday to
the Indian Spring. The last named gentle
man spent few days with his brother, Rev.
P. II. Mcmahon, in Atlanta. The trip back to
the Spring only served to increase the good
opinion which had been already formed Of
the Macon soldiery. The above two are
well pleased with their trip, and look for
ward with bright anticipation to the time
when they may have the pleasure of again
visiting the Indian Spring.

An incident Of the summer nights festt-
val at the Schuetzen Park on Wednesday
night, OF which mention has been made,

Iected that on the occasion of the regular
annual festival of the society in May last,
Mr.. Cunningham, who is passive member,
in shooting at the Creedmoor range,
made q score of five consecu-
tive bulls eyes. The score had
never been equsled at the Park, and the
society determined to commemorate 1t by
the presentation Of an appropriate testimo-
NAL. The summer nights festival was
selected as the occasion, and between and
O'Clock at night the presentation took
place in the spacious pavilion, the dancing
being temporarily suspended. The testi-
monial was presented by Mr.. Max Krauss In
a very felicitous style, his remarks being
greeted with great applause.
Mr.. Cunningham briefly expressed his
acknowledgements, and some remarks were
also made by Mr.. G. Fox.
The testimonial is q handsome gold badge
or medal, in form of a shield resting on
crossed rifles, in the centre of which is a

Yesterday morning about eleven O'Clock
Shepherd Kettles, better known as Primus,
a colored individual, was meandering along
the wharves, evidently laboring under a
heavy cargo of mean rum. AS he reached
the wharf of the Philadelphia line, he tack
ed too far to the leeWard, as it were,
and capsized, tumbliDg into the river. He
was stupid from liquor, and would have
drowned but for the promptness of Rhett
Huger, colored, who jumped overheard
and, selling the man, held him until
a boat was sent to his assistance.
The rescuer and the rescued were hauled on
board safely. Huger's action entities him
to great credit, as his rescue OF the negro
was at the risk of his own life. The unex-
pected bath had the effect Of SOLDERING
Primus, who, as soon as he was landed com
menced shouting vociferously for his coat.
